I missed last Friday, I know, and it's late but I desperately need some normalcy this week. I suspect that we all do after this week. Every time I would think that the news couldn't get more horrifying, somehow it managed to. And every time there was a new tidbit of sadness, there were always multiple rays of light and hope that emerged from the same place. So many heroes, so many selfless acts. More evidence that love does prevail- or enough evidence in favor that I keep believing it does.
Today I am trusting that, indeed, goodness will always win. I see it that way in the big picture, no question. Now to believe that it's true every day in every way.
Today I am grateful for the chaotic, exhausting last three weeks of my life. I've been spending quality time with the about-to-graduate medical students in their "Transitions to Internship" class. And while it may have been chaotic and exhausting, it has been even more fun and rewarding. I am so proud of this group, for how far I've had the chance to see them come. I expect amazing things from them, and I hope I've been able to provide them with some small part of what they need to get there.
Today I am inspired by...do I have to narrow this down to just one thing this week? The consistent theme has been people who live every moment of their life with their hearts wide open, with a willingness to offer kindness when it's needed, who love in a BIG way because they simply don't know any other way to live. Even though it sometimes means getting my heart broken, that's who I try my best to be. Every day I try.
