The rainy night has been replaced with blue skies and bitter wind. It’s time to bundle up! 🧥
Throughout the day, I am in and out of hospitals, loading and unloading patients for transport. I don’t have time to wash my hands every five minutes. I also don’t want sanitizer on my skin all day long.
One thing that is emphasized with any virus alert or with flue season is to keep your hands clean, and to keep your hands away from your face.

One solution to putting sanitizer on my skin all day is keeping medical gloves on. I sanitize the hades out of my gloves all day – instead of my skin – and have clean gloves until I have a moment to wash my hands. You can also layer gloves and strip off the outer layer as needed.
Stay well!

Sometimes the landscape around us can seem like bare stone. It seems like the type of material where nothing can grow. And yet, it’s the perfect landscape for certain kinds of growth. It offers the kind of growth that is resilient and finds its own way where other plants would perish. It may not be in the preferred garden of fertile soil, but it is it’s own fertile soil of strength and tenacity. This is where the bare rock is not shunned but embraced and the things which have seemed like deficits are grown into beauty.

A small patch of moss nestled on rocks by the little stream, takes on new character close up. It has its own landscape of mountains, river, and taller trees reaching up through the mossy forest below. Perhaps a small fairy lives here who has tamed the frog croaking nearby.
