Sage 2

Denise has been bogged down by case overload at work. She would not have time to pee or have a drink of water until noon. Her stomach would hurt from not eating on time. The end of her shift would roll around and she'd still have a stack of forms to fill out.

She'd come home, too exhausted to make dinner, and pass out on the couch by 8 p.m.

Today her building is admitting yet another new patient who will be assigned to her. This morning, instead of my usual "Have a good day!", i found myself writing:

Have as good a day as you possibly can!

Lowering our expectations: That's a stepping stone to happiness.
