“When You Feel Defeated”

“When You Feel Defeated”

Sometimes when I consider how very weak I am, I get discouraged. I think about how far I have to go, how little willpower I possess, how easily I fall or get hung up or lose my balance. I look at where I want to go, and it seems like the finish line is worlds away, and while I should be running, I seem to be limping along.

“Meeting Mrs. Atchley”

“Meeting Mrs. Atchley”

I met Mrs. Atchley at the first Olney Hamilton Hospital (OHH) Board meeting more than four years ago. She was an OHH board member, and she introduced herself to me after the meeting. At that time, I did not know the extent of her connection to the hospital. However, it was easy to see how much she loved the hospital during our first encounter. She and I made tentative plans to have lunch so I could get to know her better. Unfortunately, we did not reconnect with our busy schedules until a year or so later, but I am happy we finally had a moment to have a more in-depth conversation.
