Growth is great, especially when I realize it about myself. I used to react to everything in away a toddler would at times! It wasn’t supportive behaviour, nor was it productive. We had a few wrenches thrown into our plans, and I didn’t screw up the positive mood. Enjoy the growth! Thoughts from the Tractor.

Time does change life, what a difference a year makes. A year ago We started our health journey with Russ getting his appendix out, getting a plan for treatment for throat cancer. It was a blur. We made it thru and here we are sitting on our deck executing our plans to do things together. Thoughts from the Tractor.

Stopping & Starting is ok, as long as we keep going! We need a break to re-evaluate where we are going & what we are doing. A rest is good for the mind & soul to figure out our direction, it’s not failing. So, here we go! Thoughts from the tractor.

By changing out attitude and keeping our thoughts simple, we can change our life. Our thinking may be complicated, but our life doesn’t have to be. Thoughts from the Tractor.

I had the amazing experience of being in a class with 4th year Nursing students. Their reasons for becoming Registered Nurses inspire me & have filled my heart. Thoughts from the Tractor.

I was fortunate to meet 4th year nursing students this week. To see their passion & compassion for Nursing was inspiring. We must support,share & encourage people who are starting their careers. They learn so much from the experienced person, BUT we can learn even more from them! Nursing & the next generation, there is hope! Thoughts from the Tractor.

37 years ago I started Nursing school in Calgary, Alberta. This weekend we were able to get some of us together to reminisce about nursing and how it has changed. One thing that hasn’t changed is our friendship and being accepted unconditionally. Take the time to connect with the people who fill your heart. Thoughts from the Tractor.

Where is the grass greener? If it is maybe it’s astroturf and not real. Maybe, it is being covered by compost waiting to emerge. Maybe, like us it needs time to grow out of the mess and into being healthy & happy. Running away won’t help with our growth. Taking care of ourself and setting out a path will. Thoughts from the Tractor.

When do we take the time to realize our dreams. Here NOW! Do “it” NOW, or be content with what we are doing. We have said it before, words are only words, we need to take action or be satisfied with where we are. Thoughts from the Tractor.

The growing pains of growing up from the older grown ups perspective. We love knowing our grownup kids are on their own journey. We love knowing when they have successfully landed in business or relationships. We don’t always need to know the in between. Their journey is theirs. They know to call. We know we need to just listen! Becoming better listeners with everyone, we can learn so much & we don’t have solve everything. Thoughts from the Tractor.
