Bitching about the NHS.
We all do that - There's never enough apt, the waiting time is insane, the system is broken/overwhelmed/collapsing. . .
All true.
But when it comes to hospital stay, I have to say it blows my mind every time. (2 childbirths, and now a second major surgery)
What I've seen so far is that every single person here, from the moment I walked through the doors, had a welcoming smile, so much patience, and once we share a human to human conversations, a genuine love to what they do & us patients.
Another observation is that more than 60% of staff members are foreigners, so I get to learn about their different cultures (I am a curious bunny, always asking questions ๐), share little anecdotes about the English ways in comparison and enjoy the beautiful array of accents.
It got me thinking about why diversity matters. How lucky we are we get to live in a neck of the world that is all mixed up, and how incredible it will be if we all just change criticism for curiosity!
Laying here in this hospital bed, with the worst coffee ever made and tons of painkillers, I can't help but practice gratitude.
Bitching about things is so easy.
But wouldn't it be nice if we did concentrate more on noticing more of the good stuff?
------------
So this is me, signing off for a bit while I work on recovering and learning to walk again.
Which means, I will be continuing my work online - Workshops & 1:1 mentoring ๐ป
But for those who are waiting for a shoot, I'll be taking bookings from Nov onwards ๐ท
