Caring

I love how caring, and genuine people are. Is it very comforting when you live so far away from family.

Coffee

I can drink coffee at practically any time of day, but coffee makes my morning, every morning. I love it.

Impact

I am grateful for the impact I get to make as a Chiropractor.  My article about my experience with pain and how it taught me to be a better Dr was published yesterday, and I am so touched by the reaction my friends, family and patients had.  Therese in particular posted something truly heart-warming and humbling.  I am so lucky and honored to get to do what I do and to have so many amazing people come into my life!

Estes Park

I’m grateful for my weekend up in Estes Park. My mom, dad, sister, and I had a great time in Rocky Mountain National Park. We hiked to Alberta Falls and Loch Vale (which we had never been to before- it’s beautiful). The fall colors didn’t disappoint and there were elk everywhere. It was a great weekend spent in the mountains.

My Dog, Hunter

I never thought I would like having a little dog ,he is a jack russell, but he is just awesome.  He is fearless. When we are hiking, he climbs crazy boulders, when we are paddle boarding he is at the front of the board! He is FULL of energy.  He is a great motivator!

All of our patients

This past Friday, at the kids’ Mustang Mile event, I must’ve seen 15-20 patients (former and current). I am so grateful to live in the community I serve.  I also am so humbled by their kind words.  Raj came up to me to thank me and actually told his wife and mine that I was “an amazing soul and wonderful doctor.” He talked about how we put the patient first here, and we don’t “chase money” and he went on about how he just was so grateful to be a part of our practice.  It was awesome and a truly humbling experience.  I am so grateful to do what I get to do, to be part of Chiropractic and to work in a field where I can just give love and good things happen!!!

My Cousin

I am grateful for my Cousin, Cory, and for me to be able to attend his wedding. He was the one who taught me how to play basketball and soccer growing up. When I was little, I always told my parents I wanted an older brother (a little hard to do) but he definitely acted like one =) He always looks out for me and makes sure I’m happy.

September in Colorado

I’ve been in Iowa my last four Septembers and I’d almost forgotten how beautiful Colorado is this time of year. I love how the mornings and evenings get cooler and how the trees change. I’m blessed to live in such a beautiful state.

Mornings

Even though sometimes it is hard to get up (during the first few seconds), I am so grateful for: my youngest son, Isaac, running into my bed, lying next to me and making funny noises, my little dog Wallace who doesn’t budge, my big dog Hermione who licks my face, me stomping into Payton’s room with music and doing something goofy to wake him up, Sheri starting coffee before she leaves.  Mornings are awesome, the start to an amazing day, no matter what day 🙂

Casey’s Employment

Although Casey is unable to travel with me back to NY. I am thankful he has a job and is able to work. =)
