Yesterday I wrote about our snow storm. This is a picture of the street I live on. Today the air was full sounds of people shoveling snow, snow blowers blowing, and snow plows plowing. By the end of the day everyone was able to be independently mobile.

For 24 hours the snow functioned as a barrier preventing people from engaging in their normal routines. Once the storm was over the desire to regain mobility was prevalent. I am reminded of the times that patients have told me they are counting the days until they escape the confinement of their hospital bed. I think I am able to have a higher level of empathy after living through the activities of the last two days.

When you think about the freedoms you enjoy, be thankful. Then move forward making the most of each day.
