The Sunrise

While most of you are sleep and dreaming I am up wearing my superhero headset.  Although my job is pretty repetitive as far as the procedures of  how the calls are taken,  

I can say at night the calls are almost all emergencies. 

Some are routine and then there are the times my life saving skills are tested. When I am at work you can typically find me in the same spot.  I sit right next to the picturesque window with the view of the San Gabriel Valley.  Sitting in the window I watch people come and go, to and from work.  I also watch the airplanes in the sky.  I've had this window view so long I even know when the planes coming and going to LAX are not in their normal landing and takeoff patterns.  I am quite fascinated by aviation so to be able to see planes flying is always nice.  In addition we have a helicopter pad and sometimes I get the treat of seeing what I call the whirly bird land and take off.   

I will be candid with you, there are some day's I'm drained and I look out the window wishing I were on the whirly bird or the airplane. But in the end I know I'm needed sitting in my chair listening to the cries for help.  It's always nice to connect things and have small epiphanies about why you have a certain habit.

The window I realized is my small piece of solace.  Often times my mornings are filled with the screeching cries from a person who has found their loved one no longer breathing. To prevent those cries from eating away at me I sit in the window.  The view I see of the sunrise is GODS's gift to me that breathes life back into me.  I can leave knowing I have to make each sunrise count.  So take a look
at my view and know this day is for you too. 
Make the most of it!
