Daydreams of ease and comfort. The pelican finds a place to survey his kingdom. A full belly and a cool breeze, a place in the sun. Peace and contentment are palpable here for this king of the hill reigns supreme. Be your own king or queen. Own your hill or boulder, even if just for this one moment. The world can be beautiful.
Thanks to everyone who has shown me the ropes through the years. There have been so many of you, and so many ropes, too!
I have completed my Associate of Applied Science in Paramedicine. It has been a two year journey of education and experience with some of the most wonderful people. My teachers, clinical preceptors, and laboratory organizers have kicked my butt into shape. The paramedics on ambulances who had my back as they let me treat their patients had such grace and kindness as I tried to understand better how to do my job and take care of people.
I have been enjoying working for Emergency Medical Protection Services- a first responder organization- and First Medical Response- a private EMS provider. Now I hope for a place with 911. It would be a privilege. I hope I have listened and learned enough for them to let me start to learn some more… a lifetime’s journey awaits.
Joyful, joyful, to be alive at the beach! Make every day count.
Got to wonder what this pelican is thinking. Sunshine for nothing and fish for free?
The Texas Coast is beautiful and rich in its wildlife. Imagine warm breezes blowing across your skin. The gentle waves roll over your toes. Keep that feeling. Return to it again and again.
A lovely watercolor, the prints are available at Port Aransas Art Center beginning August 1st! Memories of surf and sand.
This happy pelican let me get so close to him that I could just about count his tail feathers! I love seeing wildlife on the coast. A great memory of the ocean just waiting to be taken home. Prints available for sale at the Port Aransas Art Center beginning August 1st!
