March 28 holds a special meaning for me. It’s early spring and summer vacation planning needs to be in over the next week. My two siblings have birthdays coming up, so that’s always good for a pair of celebrations. From a pharmacy standpoint, in Nova Scotia the government drug benefit plan resets on April 1st, so cue the shock and awe from patients once again having co-pays on their prescriptions.
The special meaning for that date is really derived from my choice to start this blog. Three years ago, I jumped into these waters expecting very little. Inspiration was the title and summed up my feelings at the time. They have not changed and hope they never will. Laura has been editing my posts from day one and does an excellent job in keeping me on point when I offer too many platitudes. Thank you to all readers, wherever you may be; your kind words of encouragement and acceptance of my often rambling consciousness has a profound impact on this soul of mine. So much so, that challenges never feel as challenging, and spinning chaos in a positive light has a definite healing effect. I’m looking forward to what’s in store for year number four.
As long as we harbor aspirations of betterment, personally and professionally, there will always be stories to tell, and topics worth writing about.
