Miracle

Merry New Year! This is my second year choosing a word of the year. I have decided on “miracle.” The reaction from others has been skeptical to say the least. Many are like, miracles are monumental so small ones don’t count. But I believe this will be a practice in seeing the small miracles. The book I’m reading is called, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman. One theme is that communication is vital and challenging especially in the healthcare setting. The invitation for me is not to listen with the purpose of preparing my response. Maybe to go slow and let it be.
