Wake-Up Call

I haven't blogged/written what I'm thankful for in over a month and a half. February is always a rough month for me. In the past few years, it's become very clear to me that my mood/motivation/energy is the worst in February/early March. It always feels like winter is never going to end, and I'm tired of it being cold and dark. Now that we've "sprung forward" and the weather is warming up, I'm starting to feel human again.

Today I got a very clear wake-up call that it's time to be intentional and thankful again. My job is incredibly rewarding, but is is soooo hard sometimes. Today, a young patient who was done with treatment ran into some very rare complications that will eventually lead to his death. After talking with his wife today, I couldn't help but want to slap myself. I spend a lot of time on myself, my selfishness can lead to a lot of narcissism and negative thinking. So, in honor of this patient and his wife, today I will choose positivity and thankfulness...and I will continue to choose it, even when it is hard.
