Days 187-195: A Week of Silence

I have not written a post in over a week.  I haven't had the energy or desire to write.  I suppose the winter finally dragged me down.  I found my way out, although I still have my moments in the darkness.  Since my existential crisis, I have had a few more.  I try to open up to the people I work with, but right now, it is strange feeling like I am in a sort of limbo.  I know I'm not an equal, but the possibility of becoming one seems closer each day.  I need to maintain my focus on being a learner for another six months.  I still have so much room.  But I also need to ease up on myself.  Any and all suggestions for improvement at this point are designed to help me become great.  I am already good.  I have many blessings.  I don't have to worry about whether I'm good.  I can also decide when and how I will implement the suggestions.  I don't have to do it all at once.  I am still going to put my focus on regular self-care, acknowledging how I've taken care of myself each day, and slowly building in the new suggestions.  I also need to keep improving on what I am already good at.  Even if something comes naturally, I need to keep improving.  Slowly.  I have a lifetime to keep working on the practice of medicine.  I need to pace myself, otherwise, I'm going to burn out before I even begin.
