This blog follows a teacher and her engineering husband as they transition from normal life to the world of medicine. It will be a medical miracle when we get there!
"My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours… it is precisely through these stories in all their particularity, as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us more powerfully and personally. If this is true, it means that to lose track of our stories is to be profoundly impoverished not only humanly but also spiritually." -Frederick Buechner (Telling Secrets)
"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justice, now. Love tenderly, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it."

You need a good laugh?
So, recently I have been trying laugh therapy (as prescribed by myself) to help me feel less stressed (more on that later). Here is one site that literally made me laugh out loud and feel better about my days!
