What a week- again. I told Daddy last night that I just want ONE "normal" week in 2012. I don't think that's a possibility until at least March, though. Damn. This week's adventures included some unplanned clinical time to help out a partner, one bout of Influenza (ugh, just ugh), and a cracked glass pane in the back door. Oh, and then there's been that little Komen funding to Planned Parenthood PR debacle/ social heartbreak issue for me, and I still haven't quite put the pieces of that back together in my head. I reiterate: Damn.
Today I am trusting that I will get a "normal" week, or at least some sanity back in my life soon. I'm still feeling pretty ungrounded and unmoored, which is just a reflection on not having been able to bunker and be an introvert during my down time.
Today I am grateful for the amazing amount of connection with friends I've had lately- in spite of (because of?) the chaos. I've recently spent time with or have plans in coming weeks with friends who I haven't connected with in far too long. I am grateful that we're all focusing on people as a priority right now. It feels good. It feels right.
Today I am inspired by a course I'm participating in with an amazing lady named Jen Louden. The course is "A Shero's Journey," and I was hoping it would help me re-find my center, looking at what are the things that I really most want right now both personally and professionally. Week 1 we talked about defining a Shero and defining a calling. So far, a good refresher, and it's definitely helping me put my focus back on compassion, creativity, and acknowledging that need I have to turn inward to recharge.
