Kids sedated with oral versed still cry. They cry for the freezing, for the bite block, for putting on the rubber dam, for the fillings and for the extractions. They lie there all wrapped up tight and cry for that. But we get the work done and mostly they are still.
It was a loud morning this morning but we got everyone done. It is hard to believe that such a loud morning actually went well.
Except for this small pain inside my head – upper left brain. Coffee and ibuprofen should fix that.

This morning I got into my frosty car to go to work. It isn’t so cold that I feel that I have to warm it for many minutes before I drive. And reminded of Earth Day, it is better for the environment if I don’t start it so long before.
I got behind the wheel and looked out through the frosted window. The window was covered with the most intricate pattern of crystals. I recognize that, for me, seeing such beauty stirs in me a sense of wonder.
I do hope it warms up soon. Frost on the window is beautiful but also means I have to clear it off to drive. I am ready for the wonder that spring brings. It is beginning; buds on the willows, geese returned, other bird songs are beginning, the sun rises before I leave home for work so that I drive into the sunrise each morning now.
I need that sense of wonder. It makes me more alive and gives me a sense of belonging in the whole scheme of things. It helps me to appreciate how I am made and who made me. Wonder seems to be one of those little graces one receives from God – evidences of his care and love. It keeps me from getting too serious and full of myself and it wards off the bitterness that can accumulate from frustrations that I also face daily.
