CURRENT MISSION

Keep improving, even on the days I don't feel quite up to it.

ABOUT ME

I just moved two streets over from where I've been living, and have to go back through the re-verification process. They say it'll take 4 weeks, but I'm still taking requests if you're in the Jackson area.

If you want find out far more about me than this profile, check me out on Twitter @meekrabs because I tweet very regularly every day. Here's a link to my profile: https://twitter.com/meekrabs

I'm pretty laid back, don't generally fret the small stuff.

Grew up in small town Mississippi Delta.

Love the outdoors.

I love animals, especially dogs.

I'm quite the dreamer, for better and for worse.

Currently on the clinical part of my medical training and couldn't be happier (or nearly as busy)

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, and always take care of those who are important to you.

Slow down and pay attention.

Try not to get bogged down in the details.

Be gentle with yourself.

Everyone has to make sacrifices, try not to take yours too personally.
