I think for most who travel through this life, we have moments of lullabies. And life lullabies are moments that are meant to inspire and soothe, heal and restore, pacify and create pure love. I am guilty before of thinking of this recent life lull as more of a nightmare than a lullaby,  but I think when we step back, we can turn it into a song that rocks softer, that embraces quiet time and removes hate, that cradles our loved ones close and allows for reflection on all that we have been given, the places we have gone and the beautiful people we have met. For my husband and myself, I would say it's probably the first lullaby we have ever had and there is great irony in that because he is a health care worker. But since starting medical school in 2015 with whirwinds of job interviews and medical school interviews, long distance and plane flights, research years and match days, wedding and residencies, in seven years this is our very first lullaby. Where we eat dinner together and actually go to sleep at roughly the same time, watch movies, read books, talk about our days and stay awake without passing out. We take the lulls when we can-those moments of and small windows of whimsy that make time for smiles and laughter and dancing in the kitchen and just remembering to simply be. As the weeks continue roll by and we find a want to speed up our music just remember that soon enough-time will pass and lullabies will be forgotten. So cradle your music that allows your life to rock softer. And try to create your own lullaby that brings your soul back to life again.
