I'd just like to take a moment to share with you all what becoming members of BTW and OMT means to us ... We've never been involved in an organization that is so caring, fun and sincere as this one. We really feel as though we've found a second family with this organization.
Being in the health care field, I know that there are people out there who need help. I live that every day when I go to work. I don't need anyone to tell me what I need to do to help out when there's a crisis. I don't need a pat on the back telling me that I did a good job. Helping others makes me feel good inside - that's really what helping out should be all about - what you feel about yourself and knowing that you've done a good job and given all you can.
Everyone has their own way of expressing their sorrow over someone else's loss - making another person think the way you do will never change their way of doing things. Some people laugh and joke because that's their coping mechanism. Other people jump in and give it their all. No one has the right to judge how someone handles themselves. We're all different and that's what makes the world go around.
I took offense at the comment that OMT has become nothing but a bunch of snobs - I took that to mean me, as a new member. I realize now, that I shouldn't take offense - especially when someone doesn't know any of the new members.
Well, thanks for reading - it's a lot off my mind! I don't have to take that anti-anxiety drug tonight to go to sleep!
