Uplifting Graph

Posted on 03/22/2020 by Walk with a Doc

Please forgive the informality of this email, I didn’t want to bother Rachael to do another one of her awesome ‘shells’. Plus, with Dr. Wee and friends up there, what else do we all need, right?
I imagine a lot of us woke up today in a very similar mood? After walking with my wife (at 6 feet) and Phoebe, our dog (not at 6 feet), I checked out the New York Times and saw this graph. It was uplifting to me. What we are doing will work.
So, during these times most of us have been given the opportunity to hit reset on our lives. Here’s a couple thoughts
Sleep – If I don’t get 7-9 hours at night, I’m going to the basement and finding a book from med school – if you know what I mean ;). These days offer us plenty of time to take a nap. Serenity.
Steps – I’ve picked a number I want to hit each day. The outdoors will be my sanctuary during this time. Nature is offering us 3 very POWERFUL things. Emotional, mental, and physical health. All in one serving. Our neighborhood streets are filling up with people. Awesome.
Social – Isolation? I have more time now than ever to text, call, email friends when it has just been too long. We had a neighborhood happy hour on the driveway last night (at 6 feet). There is time.
Self-care – Oh my gosh, were we given a window. Sure, there are some limitations right now, but (IMO) more in opportunity. Get rid of bad habits (I’m losing my phone for the weekend) and just do you. All is good. Anything you choose. Right answer.
Schedule– Yesterday, I booked a hotel at the Grand Canyon for December. That made me very happy. Reminds me of what Joseph Addison said, “Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.”
I love you guys. Have a peaceful weekend.David (Rachael, Bryan, Kaylee, and Jessica)
