Good food (and lots of it!), good company, a birthday cake, and a special visit from a 16-month-old made the day so special. Pictured clockwise from top left: Jill D (admin), Briana A (med assistant), Monica C (admin), Randi S (practice owner and psychologist), Amy M (therapist), Jason P (therapist), Zack D (nurse practitioner), Ellen M-P (therapist), Kat T (nurse practitioner), Amber B (admin), MaryAnn K (nurse practitioner) and Alyse S (therapist).

Yes, this picture agan. I know, I post this year after year, it seems. Somehow I can't find anything that hits me like this one does. I read something -- not my words -- that resonated and that I thought just belonged with this picture. This is an edited exerpt from a little blog by Fia Skye of Flying Edna: "There are these designated days when a group of someones at some point in time decided we all should celebrate "moms" and "dads" on one specific date - but I think it's a silly idea. Because I find that I remember their love, their sacrifices, their frustrations, failures, triumphs, and willingness at the oddest moments. Not always on birthdays or anniversaries, on calendar holidays or when someone tells me I ought to. It's the little moments on random days..... when I glance out the window and see a parent grimacing and running with one hand on the back of the bike seat and a wild haired child with her hands on the handle bars, pedaling furiously smiling into the wind... I think of all the many ways we come to learn this or that, and I realize there is no reason to wait to celebrate the people that taught me something worth remembering." So today and every day, celebrate those people who taught you something worth remembering ♥
