Day 4973: Power

Right before I started today’s blog post, the power went out.

Because I have the power to think and plan, I strategized about problems and solutions.

I have the power to blog on my phone and I have charging backup.

I have the power to let go of catastrophizing thoughts (my patients! the food in the refrigerator!) (Danger! Danger!).

I have the power to connect to my 11:30 therapy group through my phone.

Also, I have the power to share these images for today:

.

Despite the power outage, I have the power to search YouTube for a video about power.

Thanks to all who are here for this power post, including YOU!

Day 3756: Corybantic

Because today is Dictionary Day, what’s your guess for what “corybantic” might mean?

Before you get all corybantic trying to figure that out, here’s the answer:

Yesterday, after I gave a presentation to the nurses at my hospital about my groups which help people be less corybantic in the midst of corybantic circumstances, the power at several Boston hospitals, including mine, went out for several hours. Lest you get corybantic about how that affected patient care, I’ll remind you that hospitals are equipped to deal with such things with emergency generators and back up plans. However, I momentarily got corybantic when I couldn’t access my office computer from home, but then I realized there were work-arounds for that so I could still schedule people for my two online patient groups.

And even though we were afraid that our cat Joan would become corybantic when we put antibiotic ointment in her eyes (wouldn’t you?), the burrito technique I described in yesterdays blog post worked!

I will say that even when I have a corybantic day, blogging and sharing my thoughts with you definitely reduces my corybanticy.

Do you see anything corybantic in my images for today?

How corybantic are you feeling now? Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “corybantic.”

Corybantic thanks to all who help me be less corybantic, including YOU!
