Being a physician mom during a pandemic

Life today is so different...and yet so much the same...as a month ago.

I still conquer Mount Laundry routinely...yet I am no longer washing school uniforms.

I still talk with patients and give them advise on their medical issues and concerns...yet I am doing it more often via telehealth.

I am still encouraging my kids to be kind and help one another.....yet I need to remind of this even less often ( if this isn't a miracle I don't know what is!)

I am still enjoying family dinners....yet there is no where to rush off to when it is over.

I am still coaching on feeling overwhelmed with work and parenting issues with teens....yet I am also now frequently coaching on thoughts about masks.

So much is the same...yet different.

I will leave you with a great question to chew on...How are things the same, or maybe even better than before?

Peace and love to all of you!
