We went to mass on Thursday morning and our pastor asked a few of us what we were most thankful for this Thanksgiving. My response? Brain capacity. Sad, right? First thing to pop into my head. Medical school obviously consumes me these days. After I got rid of that instinctive response, I realized that my faith and divine grace are the things getting me through these days. So many times I feel like I won't get through. Must remember..one step at a time, Pilar. Prayer works. I love seeing the little miracles in my everyday life.
Other things I'm thankful for:
My wonderful family
Sweet, caring friends
My puppy, Harley, who always makes me smile :)
The privilege to be in medical school
The end of neuro.
A house to come home to and a warm bed to sleep in.
Food.
It's the little things that I'm blessed with that may make a world of a difference to those who don't have them...
Right now just enjoying the time at home with the parents and dog. Never been so ready for a break. Mental and physical break...amidst the light studying. Great time to prioritize again and keep my life in check. Balancing life is hard. Learning a day at a time. Maybe one day I'll actually be good at it.
Keeping happy thoughts at the forefront of my mind for the next 2.5 weeks. Charge on.
