Confession: I'm exhausted, but I also didn't want to miss two weeks in a row. Somehow I never quite got here last week; I suspect it has something to do with my hours of arrival home from work for the last week. It's been one of those.
Today I am trusting that I can find the grace and wisdom to lead our team through a couple of challenging situations. While I usually hold that the Burn Unit is a place of hope and wonder, it's been a place of sadness this week. I'm ready for us to move past this.
Today I am grateful for the little windows of time for things that are meaningful to me, in spite of a hectic week. I've been able to get my workouts in, I made it to the Dean's dinner for the graduating senior medical students, and just got home from the Symphony with Daddy. These little spaces of "normal" are helping to keep my head in an okay space.
Today I am inspired by Chookooloonks musings on how to conquer the "mean reds." See my above related comments on gratitudes for this week. Also, on a less pensive and more celebratory note, I'm inspired by the group of students who will receive their MD from the University of Utah tomorrow morning. I've been with them for all four years in one capacity or another, through bumpy times and wonderful ones. If you are one of that group, I'm proud of you, and I'm honored I could be part of your last four years. Most importantly, I am going to miss many of you like crazy, though I know you're off to do great things.
Enjoy the holiday weekend friends- be safe out there.
