| La Taurina Grill Taco Truck on Rt. 11 in Harrisonburg, VA |
Happy Anniversary to me and my job as an RN! It's been a full year of working at my current job--which is just plain crazy. Very fortunate to have a job that 100% supports me to go back to school, and for once in my career I can go to school and work and openly talk about both---oh yeah, and they also are the same profession! Phew, blessed again!
In a class I'm taking, we were asked to complete a windshield survey on our drive home. Literally, from behind the glass of our car windshield, we were to observe our surroundings and make observations regarding the economic, social, financial, and health status of what we saw past our windshield; to see "what's on the other side of the tracks". On my way home, I passed two Taco Trucks. If you have never been to a taco truck, you just need to go, because it is phenomenal food. Often misjudged for their sanitation, or lack thereof, by the workers there, and by the general outward appearance of the "restaurant". Such an unfortunate mistake, honestly. Which led me to think that this is how many of us, most definitely including myself, look at all things, but especially things with "different" appearances than our own. A visit to the Taco Truck is such a cultural experience, one from which we can truly benefit. I pray for open minds and hearts to things that are different than us, more so than just a Taco Truck or the people there, but to the differences that separate and hinder us from each other and from God. I pray that we can find the courage and strength to move past these barriers and see what's on the other side of the tracks.
