Rejuvenate is my word of 2016. While I haven’t blogged much about it, it’s still been a focus in my life. Every time I solve one medical mystery in my life, another one appears. With each new discovery, I remind myself to slow down, breathe, and sometime meditate.

Because of a recent foot injury, I had to give up my daily treadmill walk. I decided to finally return to yoga after a long absence and it has helped rejuvenate my soles and soul.

A recent weekend away with a friend also rejuvenated my spirit.

Sometimes it’s the little things that matter- enjoying homemade cupcakes, playing with little kids in the bright sunshine, or reading a great book simply for fun.

Rejuvenation is an on-going effort in my life, connected to seeking balance, mentally and physically and emotionally.

I’m still focused on my word.  What’s your word this year? How has it helped you?
