Topping the list of things I'm grateful for: (1) my patients, those wonderful people who trust me to do my work and make them better, without whom my life would be much poorer and smaller, who allow me to fulfill my purpose. (2) Winter. Here in the darkness, at the nadir of the cold and wet, my spirit is at its greatest. I wish I could stay here forever, but alas, summer is always coming.
