A few encouraging words

After a relatively stress-free work weekend, it's nice to have a relaxing Monday. Last night I was doing rounds and I came into the group room and found what I'm about to post written on the board. It was written by a patient. I asked if I could have a copy of it. I don't know what's going on in your all's lives, but I'm sure somebody out there will be touched and encouraged by what was written. I know I was. I know I'll pray when times are hard and I will also remember this. I haven't decided where I'm going to put this in my house yet, but still. God puts things and people in our lives for a reason, and whether or not you believe in Him is your choice. I hope to inspire and touch those around me, but I think that more often than not my patients are doing the inspiring. 

Remember when days are bad

And the only thing we feel is sad

Everything happens for a purpose and reason

And painful events and feelings are fleeting 

Becoming well is in our reach

Especially when we use affirmations in our speech

There are always days brighter coming our way

So keep your head up and push forward each day
