Thankful Thursdays

{Los Angeles, California}

I haven’t done a Thankful Thursday post on my blog in awhile (though I do a weekly “Thankful Thursdays” series on my Snapchat account), but figured I’d do one this week especially since my two week vacation is coming up the following week, which I’m long overdue and looking forward to.  As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I have been experiencing burnout from work, which has led to general feelings of detachment, mood changes, and decreased ability to efficiently maintain my responsibilities at work.  Though my vacation isn’t until next week, I’ve been trying to relax and enjoy myself this week, which was accomplished by taking a spontaneous trip through Los Angeles, including the amazing Getty Museum.  I am thankful not only for the break I’ll get, but for the fact that I recognized my need for self-care not only for the sake of myself, but also so that I can better support, care for, and be present for my patients.

Though of the Day:  What are you thankful for from this week??
