I am thinking that Facebook should change Throwback Thursday to "Thankful" Thursday in our current situation. So here's what I am thankful for:
-My family is safe and healthy
-My patients and their families have not been infected with the virus.
-We live in a country that has the financial ability to help people in need.
-The generous nature of individuals in times of crisis.

The list could go on and on...what are you thankful for?
