Everyone I know seems to be having a busy Friday work day. I did too. It was crazy. We were like a glass of bottomless iced tea. We just kept on refilling patients.
Rules in the area still applied. As when patients came they came in 3s. One gives birth we just put someone back in. Nonetheless it was a fun and smooth shift.
Tomorrow's schedule is bonkers! It will be a Round Robin Saturday. We have about 8 minor cases. These minor cases finish in less than 30 minutes (the actual procedure). So by the time the case ends, the room is cleaned and on to the next case. Its going to be hectic but when its done its done. But with the combination of major cases and who knows how many will still be in labor... it will be an exciting duty tomorrow to say the least!
So will it be a steady busy or a busy busy shift? We will see by tomorrow. Oh and well this is also a test post to see if my blog feeds through Goodreads.
Love Lots,
Joan Gillen

Pink Notes: 100th Post
As I have mentioned before I have been AWOL and have been feeling guilty about it. And well its not that I did not want to write but nothing was just coming through for me. I have tons of ramblings in draft cause they remain unfinished. Sad but true.
Today is different, I got to post a new rambling called SMILE. Finally something finished and well everybody who knows me know I write because it elicits an emotion inside of me. That happened today. And that single moment when I sincerely smiled today it blew me away.
These past few days I have been generally okay but I feel like I was just coasting through everyday. You know how sometimes you do things but you do not have enough moment to feel or take it in. That's how its been for me.
And then one Sunday afternoon, I was reading a poem by a friend called HUG (to my friend, please don't get creeped out if you are reading this). And after reading it genuinely I had a huge smile on my face. Unknowingly, I was staring at my phone reading the post and there it was this big smile and I felt that smile within me. That moment felt so good and I held on to that feeling for the rest of the day.
Before I forget that poem was my 100th post. So hooray! And thats even more reason for me to keep that poem special. And as I write I would like to thank @Literati_Lit and @beth_lehman for the retweets and kind words. You guys are awesome and I have been a silent and lurking fan of both of. Lol.
To more inspiration and writings!
Love Lots,
Joan Gillen

Random Ramblings: Smile
It takes different forms and sizes.
With a curve of the lips.
Or with a showing of teeth.
It extends from cheek to cheek.
It changes a day, even a mood.
It makes a difference who you give it to.
Simper to a person who looks at you.
Grin to camera when a picture is taken.
Laugh when you have a funny moment.
Smile if there is even not enough reason.
Smile as much as you can.
Cause you will never know who is around the corner.
A lover, admirer or just a friend.
But a smile is a smile.
It can make a day worthwhile.
And turn a frown upside down.

Pink Notes: National Poetry Day
I have been AWOL in writing for the past few weeks (insert guilty feeling). But I have been reading a lot of great prose from a lot of friends and they are all so good. And since its National Poetry Day I think it is just fitting to honor them.
I have only met @beth_lehman for a couple of weeks and if I remember correctly she accidentally read one of my writings. She liked it and I was surprised. Little did I know this sweet lady had a talent for prose. Its amazing how she writes its like words flow like a river, streaming and effortless. I rarely respond but know that I read them. I'm a silent fan :)
And of course there is @DarwinBlake. My prince of prose as I call him. His talent for words are just breathtaking its like he pulls out his poems like tricks from his sleeves. His way of writing conjures emotions like magic when you read his work. It makes you smile, inspired and well most of the time flourished ;) My first writing was inspired by him so he holds a special place in my heart. Thanks for everything Darwin.
I seldom write and usually I do it because I have an emotion I cannot contain or express. Writing gives me that avenue to pour everything without judgement. And well these two lovely people have done that, read my few writings with open minds and know that I appreciate it a lot.
To everyone else who have taken time to read my ramblings. Thank you. To everyone who wants to write... just keep on writing... let the words do the talking!
Happy National Poetry Day!
Love Lots,
Joan Gillen :)

Random Ramblings: Love In Perspective.
Love is never just a feeling.
But I think its a commitment.
Love is not dependent on warm, fuzzy feelings.
But its extending yourself to someone else.
Love is never just about saying or blurting it out.
But its how you express it to your other half.
Love is never generic.
But its special, important and specific.
Love is not just a four letter word.
It has a meaning, a definition.
And with that... this is love in perspective.
