Keep Digging (And Savor the Moments Along the Way)

by Dr. Tonya Caylor
Jun 12, 2025

Dinner was beautiful. A nice evening, bold flavors, shared stories of challenge & success, and laughter with friends who are in simlar trenches.

The meal came with this quote came tucked in tableware:

“Work. Keep digging your well. Water is there somewhere.”

It stayed with me—not just because it was wise, but because it met me in a season that’s been full of effort. Of showing up. Of planting without certainty of the harvest.

Sometimes the "work" looks like paperwork. Sometimes it’s holding space for someone else’s doubt. And sometimes (thankfully) it’s slowing down enough to taste grilled tomatoes, warm bread, and ice cream dusted with pistachios.

Reflection: What’s keeping you digging right now? And what’s nourishing you while you do?

There were bad kids like Eddie - who would come to our street and try to bully the guys. (I had to stand up for them and ran him off our street on more than...

He’s a mid-career family physician struggling with a career dilemma I hear often: “I’ve never stayed in one job more than x number of years. I feel like I need to leave my current one, and I think that must mean something is wrong with me.” Rather than...
