This coming Saturday is my birthday. My hair is not yet covered with gray but soon it will be. If the gray hairs appear because of the work time we do I should have a full head of gray hair by now.
I started working while studying to be a nurse practitioner at the age of 16 and since then I never stopped working. After spending a few years working as a nurse I wanted to continue studying and decided to go to medical school but while I was studying to become a doctor, I continued to work as a nurse to pay for my studies.
Before finishing my studies I had already visited many towns in the country and after I finished my studies I continued my pilgrimage through the country, working in different hospitals, especially in the Andean and in northeastern regions.
When I returned to the city where I currently live I had already finished my specialization in ultrasound and I stayed working here, together with my son who at that time was 5 years old. We settled here and I continued to acquire the necessary material goods to live as well as possible.
My son started his third level of pre-school in a different school and then continued with his first grade in another institute and continued there until he ended up becoming a bachelor in that same place. He is now about to finish his college degree in a little less than 2 years.
For many years I was always active as a physician, working as much as I could until two years ago my ultrasound equipment was damaged and then I suspended my practice until I could get the equipment fixed. No one could fix it, until today I know what the cause of the damage is but I have to come up with $2000 to get it turned back on, money that I still can't save.
Then came the pandemic and I could not continue working. So I went to other activities and started to work fully on another platform, which then split and everything changed and that's when I came here to read.cash. Now this is my job.
I must say that I never thought I would enjoy writing as much as I do now. I didn't know that when writing my stories there would be people like me who enjoyed reading them. I always bought magazines where their publications were science fiction or romantic stories or stories of people's lives but now I am the one who writes and, to complete my happiness, I get paid for doing something I enjoy. I am very grateful so far for everything I am living on this platform.
This is my job, from what my son and I live. I enjoy it and I don't expose myself to seeing patients until they can fix my equipment.
Do I feel bad about not being able to practice my career? Yes, I feel like something is missing in my body. Do I feel sad or let down by life? No, never. I am grateful to God for the life I have, I don't care about the material acquisitions I have obtained so far.
Of course, I am happy for everything I have bought throughout my life but in these times I am much happier for the tranquility I have in my life, the peace I have learned to obtain, the son who is still with me at 20 years of age, the food I can share with friends, the health I keep today, the plants I sow, transplant and harvest. I am extremely grateful for the life I have today.
I am happy for the virtual friends I have made on this platform and I am grateful for the rewards the little bot gives me for making original posts. I am happy for the people who can share a comment at the end of my article and that I can share with them as well. I am happy that despite all the circumstances I have been living day by day I can still give thanks for this wonderful life I have.
I am having my birthday this coming Saturday and this is also the week of my anniversary on this site!
Happy birthday 🎂
