What's important?


Here I am, a health professional, complaining I don't make enough money to cover our family's medical expenses. Hmmm...

I'm grateful to have my mental health relatively intact. I'm grateful to live in a place where we have access to good health care. I'm grateful we won't go bankrupt from upcoming medical expenses. I wonder what the next half of my life will bring? Maybe I'm not even half-way there. If I work at it, maybe my own medical expenses can be kept at a minimum while maintaining decent health. What do I want my kids to learn from how I live my life day to day? Heck, what do I want to learn about myself day to day? How can I live my life in way that is fair and respectful to my child with Down Syndrome and my child who I can't keep up with?

Right here and right now, I'm just grateful to be able to experience all of this amazing thing called life.
