Happy Holidays from me and Echo 🩵🎄🐈 Pets of #IDSky #PharmSky #SIDP #MedSky
Echo the orange cat standing next to a Charlie Brown-esque potted fir tree. The tree is decorated with multi-colored lights, royal blue and pearl white ball ornaments, and a snow flake ornament towards the top.

I aspire to my cat’s level of relaxation 🧘 Happy #Caturday from me and Echo 🩵🦋 Pets of #IDSky #PharmSky #MedSky #SIDP
Echo the orange cat asleep on a light blue fluffy blanket, the picture of ultimate rest and relaxation. He is laying on his side facing the camera and pink toe beans on one of his front paws are peaking out from folds of the blanket.

Taken by surprise by this single bloom on one of my Christmas cacti today. I can’t find another bud on the entire plant 🪴 💚
Pale, pale yellowish bloom on a Christmas cactus (maybe a Thanksgiving cactus 🤷🏼‍♀️). Hot pink stamen (pretty sure that’s the stamen?). No other buds to be found on the entire plant. A pleasant surprise. Pale, pale yellowish bloom on a Christmas cactus (maybe a Thanksgiving cactus 🤷🏼‍♀️). Hot pink stamen (pretty sure that’s the stamen?).

Echo wishes you some rest on this #Caturday 😴🐈 Pets of #IDSky #PharmSky #SIDP #CatSky
Echo the orange cat, stretched out on the bed, head snuggled into my forearm, eyes closed, content, front legs reaching towards me, white whiskers catching the light coming in through the gap in the curtains.

I’ve been brought to tears several times in the past few days, most recently a few minutes ago. I want you to know that it’s been because of kindness & community. Last week: tears of rage. This week: Tears of gratitude for the people who are showing up, saying yes, & *being* and *doing* love.

“I must sound so ungrateful,” a father said. Where patients usually say “thank you," he said: help me understand why no one listens to us? The “ungrateful” patient taught me: Patients don’t owe us gratitude. We owe them the truth. And the willingness to listen. drzedzha.substack.com/p/the-ungrat...

I used to be terrified of teaching. I remember having what bordered on an argument with my undergrad advisor, to the tune of, “You're kidding, I could NEVER be a teacher.” 😱 Yet (poetic justice?) precepting pharmacy learners is now a thing that feels most fulfilling -& sometimes even energizing. 1/3
