CHAP L I NC Y CORNE R
Decades ago, I travelled alone on the “Fairstar” to England. Being my first trip away from Australia, I was anxious at the thought. My parents gave me a Bible with this verse from Psalms highlighted. Armed with new confidence, I took many risks. And I survived! We stand at the gate of a new year. The unknown lies ahead. With so much change happening it is easy to feel unsettled and apprehensive. As Mark Twain commented, “The only one who likes change is a wet baby.”
Yet, visiting the wards, I am inspired by long-term residents who epitomise resilience in the way they are adapting to changes in the Hospital. They are an example to us all. To quote Maya Angelou “Having courage does not mean that we are unafraid. Having courage and showing courage means we face our fears. We are able to say, ‘I have fallen, but I will get up.’” There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens, (Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) And every ending is a new beginning.
