Um, so, it seems I missed last Friday. It had something to do with a field trip to Portland, food debauchery, and an icky upper respiratory thingy. Portland was amazing, food and company were incomparable, and the icky thingy is almost gone. It's been a Spring of this for me, and I'm ready to move on, please and thank you. And no, I didn't get the half marathon checked off of the 44 by 44 list. I'll kick it down the road to the new list that's due...uh...sometime this week.
Today I am trusting in subtle shifts. I'm the most optimistic about some changes at work that I've been in a LONG time and that feels good. I'm not expecting perfection next week (or ever, realistically), but I'm encouraged.
Today I am grateful for the opportunity I had last weekend to recharge and reconnect. Portland was actually fairly restful, it was good to be away and in a beautiful place, and I was privileged to spend my weekend surrounded by some kind, thoughtful, FUN people.
Today I am inspired by this list of 12 Most Striking Tendencies of Creative People. I've been doing a fair amount of risky creative work recently, and it's nice to have that space I've been in reinforced. And yes, risky creative work is possible in medical/ surgical education. Trust me. I'll let you know if I go down in flames (but I won't).
Now listening: Rules of Travel, Rosanne Cash in honor of her birthday yesterday. I honestly had forgotten what an amazing album this is. Highly recommended!
