My daily gratitude for:

1. Having a boot to protect my hurting foot – I fractured my sesamoid bone!
2. Royce Scott, one of the Memorial Hermann Health System chaplains. I got to meet him and enjoy some fellowship with him this evening and laugh about our experiences in CPE, share our chaplain experiences, and share good food.
3. The help of Gina Biddle and Gwynneth Livesay I’m coordinating 32 candidates for board certification tomorrow. Couldn’t have done it without them!
4. Thinking through blessings with Tony today. I take great joy in helping staff feel units, moves, rooms, and lives are blessed, and I love helping other chaplains to plan and prepare their words.
5. My phone call with Ryan tonight. I’m loving his growing comfort talking over the phone to me.
6. Christmas memes and humor!!
