Friday, and a little overdue. I was traveling last week, sitting on a friend's back patio drinking wine when I ordinarily would have been doing this.
Today I am trusting that I've learned some lessons in the last few weeks that will serve me well going forward. You can go home again, and pieces of your heart that were left there can heal. History counts for a lot, especially when it involves 25 years and a lot of geographic distances in passing. Even 45 minutes of yoga can fix almost any angst.
Today I am grateful for my recent travels. Yes, I'm usually off-balance for a day or so when I get home, but these trips have been worth it. They've ultimately proven more grounding than unsettling, and (most importantly) have reinforced for me the value of unconditional love in friendships.
Today I am inspired by connections I've been making with other women surgeons as I work on a project. I want to believe that the things that we're talking about really matter, and that I'm finding some Big Questions to answer.
Today I have faith that I will come through my next three weeks (clinical time!) with grace, peace, and ease.
