It’s quiet in the house this Christmas morning.  I’m the only one up and ready to start the day.  The only white Christmas here is the snow white sands of the Emerald Coast.  This time of the year allows us to step back and reflect on the previous year and plan for the upcoming year.  We are able to come up with New Year’s resolutions and set new goals for the future. Whether it is a healthier lifestyle, weight loss, or new financial goals, there is more hope for the future this time of year.

This has been an eye opening and stressful year for myself and many others across the country and especially along the Gulf Coast.  We have had to learn how be more frugal, do more with less and generally re-program our way of doing business, both personally and professionally.

The past few months have been challenging and given me the opportunity to grow as a person and a health care provider.  I am more grateful for what I have and the people I have around me.  I have increased optimism for the coming year as I feed off the energy and the optimism of people who come into the office.

Merry Christmas to everyone and here’s to a healthy and prosperous New Year!
