As dentists I know we tend to be a bit
particular. Whether it’s the way we do
our crown preps or the way we clean our
carpets, we like things a certain way, and
I am no different. Unfortunately life does
not always allow for everything to be just
the way we want it to be. For me that
was one of the hardest lessons in the
transition from youth to adulthood,
from associate to owner, a nd from single
woman to family life. But just because
life can’t be perfect all the time doesn’t
mean it can’t be really good. From one
new parent and new business owner to
the next, “Hang in there!” It gets better
and the rewards far outweigh the negatives.
Cut yourself some slack. Focus on the
important things you can do and the
rest will fall into place.
