Poor choice of footwear and late hour of arrival home aside, last night had more to offer than predicted at 7pm when I was loath to surface from a well-earned nap. Good thing the usual litany of excuses sounded inexcusably lame. If I’d taken a pass there are so many things I wouldn’t have seen or heard or done.

Friday ended my best clinical experience yet. The worries I went into it with were all dispelled and remain unreplaced to this day. Once again I have to shake my head and marvel at the way something I am so sure is not my cup of tea turns out to be exactly what I need and thrive on and incorporate as though it’s always been a part of who I am.

It only gets more time-consuming and less growth-inducing from here. I want to find ways to keep myself on this level I’ve been brought up to even when I’m accountable only to me.

Experience and wisdom and this feeling in my bones have got me pretty well convinced it’s not enough just to want, any more than it’s ever been enough just to wait. Even if there’s also a lot of hope, no matter how much.
