Mirror, Mirror

Days to Chevron Houston Marathon: 10

Planned Run: 4 miles
4.02 miles 45:38 11:21 pace
4:15 pm 43 degrees

Sometimes when I run, my feet aren't the only thing moving.  My mind is, too.
Today:

-Gratitude for the depth to which the air can dive into my lungs when I open the space and allow it to clean out the old and bring in the new.

-Gratitude for feeling a door swing past a threshold of reluctance with only the slightest knock from me.

-Gratitude for having a mirror held in reflection of my own so that I didn't lose sight of myself while healing another.

-Gratitude for the opportunity to wake up tomorrow and do it all over again.

When I think about my career as a clinician, I live for the moments of contact that have nothing to do with laboratory values or breath sounds or wound care.  I don't consider diagnosis or prognosis. 

Today I am undeniably grateful for the opportunity to interact with my patients on a human level.  It's just one of those days.  Love, love.
