I’ve been kissed by a rose on the gray…

Good evening my dear readers. The weather is crazy all over the United States. I currently have a weekend planned with one of my nieces...so it should be luscious. I wish I could scoop them all up and have “Aunt Camp” for a week of fun and pandemonium . I have some news. I have always wanted to do international nursing. I have been on several short trips and have loved it. I applied to Doctors Without Borders three years ago. They declined my application, saying they needed more French speaking folks at the time. I speak some Spanish but no French. So I went on with my life, assuming the universe didn’t want me to do it after all. Well, a couple weeks ago a patient came to have a physical completed for her mission with Doctors Without Borders. I told her my previous plight and she said that they are opening up the requirements and suggested I apply again. I told the patient I would think about it. The very next day I received an email from Doctors Without Borders saying that I had applied previously and asked me to reapply. So I did. And now I have a phone interview with them at the end of March. So we will see where the universe will send me. Quite literally.
