More Than A Survivor

It’s the simple things

The “thank you” s

The encouraging whispers or gestures that fill the day

The prayers…

The positive thought sent your way …

That make a stressful day beautiful

And worth “dancing” through

Sometimes we brush it off… as incidentals on the day

Or half truths that our inner critics disagree or argue with…

In the middle of the days challenges… these are sent to help carry us or drag us through the day to the other side
More than just a survivor …

Take time to acknowledge them…

Sit in the encouragement and good feelings they stir up!

They are called benefits … loaded in each day!

This one made me smile!

I needed it! And still do!

It was a gift from a staff member!

I’m so grateful for each and everyone of them


In health,
Dr. O
