Desiree, never apologize for your desire to succeed and better yourself. Your so right, there is much more work to do and so many who need our care. I just retired a month ago at 55. I am not done either by any means. I moved up here to Alaska and later this next Spring I will see what I can do to contribute as a volunteer. Give it all you got Desiree.

I was just asking about you the other day, haden't seen you. What are you working now? I say we skip the extra shift and just meet for lunch. At least that way we get lunch.
