Something positive everyday

It's easy to get caught up in the daily hustle and bustle of life. I was rummaging through some of my old posts and I realized that I hadn't written for a while. But it didn't seem like a while...It's like catching up with an old friend, you pick up effortlessly from where you last left. Can't be thankful enough for that.

How can we think about something positive everyday? If we were able to make one positive change for every patient in the unit, that would be a start. It would be a tough start though but if we don't think it how will it actually happen, right? It could be as simple as stopping unnecessary gi prophylaxis or starting appropriate feeds or providing some sunlight to as as nuanced as mobilization on a ventilator, or timely extubation or spot-on resuscitation or relief from suffering...but something positive for each patient everyday.
