For medicine, and those health care professionals who really do recognize and practice the “care” part of it. And for the incredible group I have of family and friends who have been there for us during my Mom’s illness — concerned, caring, and praying. I thank God for you….

For our guardian angels. Devoted, ready at our side, ever-watchful. And no doubt super busy in this crazy world we live in. Yesterday was the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. I am thankful for mine….

For movies that move me. Whether a sci-fi that makes me wonder, a thriller that kicks in my arrhythmia, a drama that brings me to tears, a laugh-out-loud comedy that makes my sides hurt, a bio that inspires me, or my favorite: a feel-good flick that lifts my soul.

Summer gratitude…
“Summer is the time when one sheds one’s tensions with one’s clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.”….

I’d like to use a couple of my [hopefully] 86,400 seconds today to express my gratitude to YOU, the loyal readers of RxfortheSoul, especially on Thursdays. And so, for your time, following, feedback, and fuel….                          “We don’t heal in isolation, but in community.” ~S.K. Harrell
