Sunday is designated as Nurse's Day. Think back to sometime in your life to that 'special person' who did nursing duty for you or your family, such as at school, the emergency room, operating room, etc. You were so grateful and relieved that a trained person knew just what to do to help you take away the pain and you or your family member got better. Their talents and skills are special. Everyone is not designed for that occupation. I commend all the nurses, not just Sunday, but 365 days of the year. When you see a nurse, greet them with an extra thank you.

Have a special week, readers!
