Hello to all. I suppose since my maiden name is MacNabb, I can put up a post. I actually do read this blog on a semi-regular basis. Unfortunately, I often feel fussed at for not responding and so I continue not to post (rather contrary of me, I know, and not very supportive). My days are rather hectic and not filled with much to share. I am struggling with a long-standing patient that is not doing well and a new patient who probably has a dismal prognosis. I think I am falling apart now that I have turned 40. My back went out, my car's transmission is "shot" and I chipped a crown yesterday.
I just reread the above, quite depressing and negative. I actually try very hard to be positive. Let me start again. Although things break, I am fortunate that they are fixable. My back is remarkably better and I am up to 1.6 miles a day walking in the morning. I acheived a 15 minute mile pace this morning. I have enjoyed a time of reflection and prayer each morning instead of listening to my iPOD. My car's transmission is fixed and I have it back in working order. The dentist will look at my tooth on Monday and right now it is not bothering me at all. Henriette is hanging in there and dad seems to be improving. James played beautifully last night in his piano recital and his school Christmas program this morning was quite entertaining. I look forward to Kathryn's gymnastics program tonight and her school winter celebration (the difference in a Catholic school and a Montessori school!) on Monday. We look forward to a wonderful time with both of our families over Christmas.
I feel much better to end with an optimistic tone. Sorry there are no amusing stories, I just don't have the mental energy to compose my thoughts in a more eloquent manner. I do think of you all often and pray that everyone is well despite their challenges in life.
Oops! Late for a meeting. Love to all.
