Do. Not. Give. Up. The world needs to hear your laugh. There are people who are just waiting to hear it so they can find you.

Another year & I’m still amazed. I told someone that for a couple of years, I didn’t laugh. Now people know my laugh so well they use it as radar to find me. And weirdly, someone who contributed significantly to those years I didn’t laugh just told me how happy I seem. So I guess it’s sticking.

I just love when I see #nurses commenting on posts about being better nurses, asserting that they are the “good” nurse, the one who changed things…and I remember knowing them as the #nurse who made new grads cry.
