My daily gratitude for:

1. Building a fire, as tonight I got to make a fire in my firepit for folks to enjoy s’mores.
2. Only one more day before I am finished with all the prep work for speaking at our TCH Grand Rounds next week.  What an honor and a gift to speak to our doctors!
3. The beautiful ocean. Just gorgeous.

My daily gratitude for:

1. The 2 couples from church that I visited today in their hospitals, who give me courage and encouragement, while being inspiring in their honesty and humor.  I love them both very much!
2. The graciousness of the PICU staff when I am busy or filled with projects and unable to be as present in the unit.  They are understanding and hilarious in their understanding.
3. Elana’s encouragement of my self care and particular paying attention to my hurting body. (My lower back has been killing me and been super tight and sore)
4. Ryan’s cute sleeping positions.

Still managed to make my daily gratitude before midnight.  Grateful for that!
