A Good Day To Be Alive

I have never been one to want too much of something. I prefer to have enough. I wouldn't say I lead a minimalist lifestyle, however, I am also not extravagant in anything. I don't like too many, and I don't want few.

We all have different definitions of what a good day is to us. For some, it is when they check all activities off their checklist, while for some persons, the definition of a good day is just being alive and having friends around.

Honestly, I would not say I know what a good day is for me, because I live everyday, working and looking for greener pastures. I am a moving man that don't really put much thought to what a good day is to him. But, now that i think of it, it is quite difficult to actually say - this is what a good day is in the life of Harris. I would not want to sound like a workaholic and say that a good day to me, is when I finish all the activities in my checklist, neither do I want to sound like a lazy person and say, a good day to me is when i just chill, and not go to work. Lol. Its kind of hard to answer this but here goes....

Now that I think about it, I can classify a good day as a day well spent with my recovering non-aggressive patients, and after the shift, I go home to enjoy the silent that follows.

As a practicing medic, I meet a lot of people. I see different personalities all day, and I have to adapt and accomodate these people based on the personality they have. Some are aggressive, some want to be noticed, so, they exaggerate things, some are calm and peaceful, while some are not predictable. Dealing with all these is a lot of work, and its worst when a patient have aggressive relatives who are not cooperative. Sometimes, it is the patient who is not cooperative. In Nursing school, we were taught to counsel and educate patients, but no one taught us what to do when patient refused to heed to your advice.
