Happy Leap Day!

Jump, hop, skip, dance. There may be a lot of heartbreak, sadness, illness, fear, and worry in the world, but there is also joy, brilliance, happiness, light, and love as well. In my work and in my personal life, I have begun to recognize in finer detail and deeper facets the textures of emotion we encounter in daily life. A patient gets worse. A patient gets better. A relationship sours. A relationship strengthens. We feel the rumble of emotions, we reflect, we adapt, we grow. I've learned there are so many things I cannot change: missteps made in the past, the disease that grows too rampant, the emotions of others. I am only accountable for my words and my behaviors. So: I jump, hop, skip, dance. It is leap day, after all.
