Home, finally, after what may have been one of the craziest travel weeks I can imagine. It started last Sunday morning, ended today at 10 am. I flew somewhere on the north side of 6000 miles, most of it on Monday and Wednesday. As exhausting as it was, I honestly think I would do it again- I needed the time being part of each of my major professional communities. It also proved to me that I really can't (and don't want to) choose between favoring my burn community and my surgery education community.
Today I am trusting that I'll be able to have a relatively quiet, drama-free, productive week here at home.
Today I am grateful for safe travels. I am grateful for my absolute devotion to my clinical career that chose me. I am grateful for my intense commitment to my non-clinical career, which defines me. I am a lucky, lucky girl to get to do things that I love so very much.
Today I am inspired by this fine reminder to slow down and just be from David Whyte. I believe that there's a place and time to go, go go. The next couple of weeks is my place and time to rest, revel, and reflect.
