Doctor’s Log 2 “Surprise!”

Excerpt from the personal log of Doctor Dorothy “Dottie” Bellion:

Stardate: Classified.

I think a certain captain may have missed her calling in life, and should have been a counselor.

See, I had been feeling rather down lately. I had just marked another birthday, and afterward I found myself taking stock of my life, and wondering if I in fact really had accomplished anything of value in my time in this universe.

I thought I had done a good job of hiding my depression, but apparently, the captain noticed, and made plans to snap me out of it.

I found out about her plans when I got a call to come to the crew lounge.

When I arrived, I found someone had hung a banner saying “Thanks, Doctor Dot”, and most of the crew was there waiting for me.

They each took turns saying how I had helped them, and the captain went last, saying she considered me not only a valued member of the crew, but a personal friend.

There wasn’t much I could do but blush, and try and fight back tears, and then join the party.

So now it’s a few hours later, and I am recording my gratitude to all aboard this ship for making this old lady feel ... young again ...

Sounds like you've been assigned to the Best Ship in Starfleet.

But 222 words? Really?
If you have these already written in your Log
I think I'd like it better if youd kick us down
a few entries of this size at a time.

YOU are not old!

You need to think of yourself as young. You are just beginning your life as the real you. You have so much to look forward to. Don't ruin it by thinking of yourself as Old, and limiting your possibilities. With the health advances spreading through star fleet, your should have the better half of your life ahead of you.

thanks, hon!

huggles!
