This will be my first exercise in blogging as related to my job.   
One of my visions for Hospice of San Angelo is for it to have it's very own blog 
that is contributed by many and offers up a wealth of information for 
the community that we serve and our staff who serve it.  As often 
happens, I am awake thinking about work.  This may not sound like a 
healthy practice but it's the way I process things sometimes.  Today is 
one of those days.
Blogging for our hospice is one of the
 many facets of my personal vision for this organization.  I can't say 
that it was my idea, and certainly we are not the first 
hospice out there blogging.  I do think it's an excellent way to give 
more in depth information to the people who need it.  I also think it's a
 great way to give kudos to our staff who are out there everyday making 
sure that our patient's and their family's needs are met to the best of 
our ability.
I hope that our staff will share their ideas 
for this blog and especially for the forthcoming "official blog" of 
Hospice of San Angelo.  Currently we are in the process of working with 
some volunteers who enjoy blogging and are willing to help us with 
this.  I look forward to watching this process develop and will probably
 blog about the process as it goes on.
For today, I want 
to thank all of our staff, volunteers and board members (who are also 
volunteers) and express my most sincere gratitude for the hard work and 
dedication that happens here everyday.  I never thought I would be one 
who loves my job, but I do.  It's not easy, I never have enough time in 
any day to accomplish all that I would like to, but this may help.  I 
tend to express myself much better with written word than in person and 
look forward to the opportunity to do just that!
If you are reading this, Thank You!!  I hope you look forward to the words to come as much as I do. 
 
I am excited about your blogging adventure and look forward to seeing it progress. I think it's a great way to give people a glimpse into the many facets of HOSA. I, too, would like to say THANK YOU to the staff, volunteers and board members. So many different people coming together for a dedicated purpose is a beautiful thing to witness! ~Melissa Vines
