To Enjoy Moments

It's the little moments and seemingly small actions that can make all the difference. 

A hug from a friend can change everything. 

A kind word from a stranger can boost your mood or your confidence.

The words, "you rest, I'll take care of it" can be comforting beyond measure. 

A child climbing into bed with you to cuddle can melt your heart.

An outing to the movies with five teenagers after two days in bed merely existing could be just what the doctor ordered.

Cancelling an appointment with a practice that is no longer meeting your needs can feel liberating.

Today, I intend...
... to enjoy the little moments and appreciate the small actions. 
... to be gentle with my failing body.
... to move forward in seeking better health care and in addressing neglected medical needs.
... to let go of negative feelings surrounding past medical care and to look forward to getting back on track with my medical care.
