Any time we approach the end of a year, I get all sappy and want to reflect. I think a lot about what the year has brought each of us - good, bad, and ugly. I try to shift my focus towards what I can control and what I'm grateful for rather than allowing myself to go down the many rabbit holes I have been stuck in before. While social media usually portrays the warmest versions of our loved one's lives - I prefer to turn to our MAAWLE family, where we find warmth in each other, no matter what chapter we might be in and what version of ourselves we might be sporting. If you can't tell, night shift has me in my feelings and grateful for each of you. So take this as your reminder to reach out to your MAAWLE sister you haven't heard from in a while and just say hi - you never know when someone might need that friendly hello more than you know.
Now let's get to business! We have a fantastic social event coming up in a few short days. While I will be stuck on night shift, I know many of our amazing members will be there to show support and raise money for a great cause.
