The Four R’s —  Reset, Readjust, Restart, Refocus I came across this phrase a few weeks ago during a time when I was struggling.  This year has been a time of transition and I have not always been patient with myself, my knees, people I have counted on for support and a healthcare landscape which values profit over health.  In short, I was mired and could not see a way forward.  These words: reset, readjust, restart and refocus, have helped me find a starting point at the beginning of the day and sometimes several times within a given day.  These words have allowed me to create … Continue reading
