Good morning from Chandler Regional Hospital. I'm Kim Gaskill and this is the Daily Spark. Change. This has definitely been a week of change for me, um, more changes coming ahead. Yesterday, uh, was an interesting day, got some things repaired, and today is a new chapter in moving forward and accepting the change that is going to come about over the next few months. Um, you guys know I am very mobile. Um, I am never in one place more than one time a day or two days, and that is coming to a screeching halt. And so I'm gonna have to make some changes and be okay with that. And I will admit it is not going to be easy, but the way that you look at change, the way that you look at events and situations, can really change the outcome of that change. I could look at it as being discouraged and angry, or I could look at it as an opportunity to try something new, to take advantage of the downtime, to write more, to organize things, to make a plan, which I'm definitely gonna have to make a plan because the one I had written down for 2019 has drastically changed. But that's okay. When change comes, and it will for all of us, we have to be ready to look at that change as opportunity, as adventure, as something positive. And it makes the change much better. At least that's what I'm hoping. I'll see you again tomorrow for another Daily Spark.
