Healthy changes

I was shocked at how long it has been since my last serving of stew!  To all of my loyal readers...I promise to make you wait so long for your next bowlful!

So much has been happening lately.  I have been training for my first marathon and trying to run through old knee injuries that are determined to thwart my path to the finish line.  I am hoping that all will be well by marathon day.  It has been hard to get this far and think that I may not finish.  I keep reminding myself that I raised a lot of money for a good cause and pushed myself further than I have ever gone before.  But somehow...not getting the finishers medal seems to be a sour pill.  Hopefully...hopefully...

I have also quit my job.  Which was a nerve-wracking and scary thing to do.  I am going into private practice.  I am going to be my own boss...make it or break it on my own.  I am confident in my skills and believe that if I build it .... they will come.  I am also going to be spending some time in a group private practice that will hopefully be a good clinical home for me.  I like the team there and look forward to building strong relationships with them.  Overall, this affords me more time with the children, work that is exciting and the flexibility to have the life I want.  And...since giving my notice, I have slept better than I have in the last two years!

Olivia went through a scary sickness and is better.  Michael is making strides toward a huge transition to middle school.  Joe continues to be great to all of us and earns our appreciation every day.  What have I learned over the past few months...That is I slow down and recenter myself, I will remember that healthy changes make life better and are worth the risk...no matter how they turn out.
