The Greatest Love of all

"I will Grow.
I will become something new and grand,
but no grander than I am now.
just as the sky will be different in a few hours,
it's present perfection and completeness is not deficient,
so am I presently perfect and not deficient
because I will be different tomorrow."

-Wayne Dryer

In case you hadn't heard, Whitney Huston died yesterday.
Usually, celebrities lives don't mean much to me,
But I have tender feelings for Whitney Huston.


When I was in middle school, her song "The Greatest Love of all" really had a big impact.  To a hurt, lonely, scared girl who had been victim of some serious offenses, who had thus been catapulted into a state of self directed loathing and identity crisis amid an already biological identity crisis, her song was a guide post.  It had an effect that when I was really feeling low, I could get enough courage to direct my attention to things that really mattered.  I'll admit, there were times when I would play this song over and over and cry.


It may sound pathetic, it may sound strange.  But you know what, its part of who I am, and I'm okay with that. I like that, I may even say I love that.


Without further ado, here my friends is the greatest love of all.  By Whitney Huston.  May she RIP.

and yes, I can still sing you the whole song.

Good news, bad news

Okay, good news:  The UAF staff OIT training position we've been waiting for was finally posted, and Travis has his resume in.  His current supervisor helped him work on the resume (which really is fantastic) so that it really showed how amazing he is.

Bad news:  My provider Emily is being moved from OBGYN back to first care.  Turns out there just isn't a high enough demand for one more provider in the department.  I am SO SAD!  I have loved working with her, I love the OBGYN department, and I am now pretty anxious about what will happen.  Without her there, my position as her Medical Assistant is unnecessary.

Good news:  I still have a job with TVC, I just don't know where specifically yet.  my manager said to still come in on Mondays and Fridays, and to pick either Tuesday or Thursday to come in a help in whatever way I can, like taking back some patients for the other docs so their RN's can catch up on paperwork and yadda yadda.

Bad news: I may or may not end up in a new department again.  I just don't know, I don't like not knowing and I don't like the idea of having to relearn yet another department and possibly go through the whole orthopedics type of situation again.  I REALLY love OBGYN.  :(

Good news: I have another dance class to teach.  On Tuesday we met for the first time, its a group of about 15 kids, from ages 5-13, which is a real adventure.  It was so cool though, they're great kids, and they learn SO FAST!  I'm teaching them dance as their gym type credit for their home school program.  SO MUCH FUN!

And I'll end there.  Have a good day, stay safe, enjoy the FABULOUS warm weather (we are above freezing!) and stay posted on job updates. I believe they have the start date for Travis' possible job as March 1st so we should be hearing back soon.  If he gets it, we will stay here in Fairbanks for a few more years.  He plans to work on a masters degree with the tuition bonus that this possible job would offer.  Cross your fingers for us!
