Presidents Message

By Renae Paulson, RN
Greetings,
Spring has officially come and I hope you
are enjoying all the blooming plants. It
reminds me that this is the season of new
beginnings. The days are longer and I love
the breezes and sunny skies of the spring
season.
What changes do you make when spring
comes? My earliest memories are of school
vacation, new dresses and shoes, and
playing outside.
And then there are the expectations of
getting the house clean “from top to bottom”.
The curtains and windows were washed,
inside and out, cob webs were hunted down
and cleaned, and everything was moved out
and cleaned.
Last month Dr. Gottlieb spoke to us about
the psycho-social aspects of the pain
syndrome and what struck me was his
studies on the pain culture and how my
beliefs and attitudes impact my behavior and
effectiveness in caring for others. I am
motivated to not just clean up my physical
surroundings but also my emotional cob
webs too.
Dr. Gottlieb is an expert
Management and you can
information on our website.
Ending our meetings with a raffle is a special
treat provided to us by friends and members
and we are truly thankful for the prizes.
See you at the next meeting!
Springtime can also be a time to reawaken
relationships. While cleaning out your
drawers look for opportunities to call an old
friend or send a note to someone you
haven’t seen in awhile. Be sure to ‘ink in’ the
RNS meetings for the 4th Thursday of
everyone month.
