Oh happy day...........................

Son Connor graduated today from The Ohio University with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy.  This is known as a good thing.

Not sure this yet has been decided.....

     In many of the medical texts Rush was reading, there was  basic debate about the role of the physician.  Was it primarily to help nature take its course, or was the purpose of physic for the doctor to try to wrestle nature to the ground, to be its master, not its servant?

Just what the Doctor ordered.............

Opening paragraphs................

Dr. Iannis had enjoyed a satisfactory day in which none of his patients had died or got any worse.  He had attended to a surprisingly easy calving, lanced one abscess, extracted a molar, dosed one lady of easy virtue with Salvarsan, performed an unpleasant but spectacularly fruitful enema, and had produced a miracle by a feat of medical prestidigitation.

Ok, Coach......................................

“Don’t rely on the opinions of others.  Only you will know what is right for you.”

“Sometimes being happy will require some difficult conversations. Some of those conversations will be with yourself.” 

“Challenge your assumptions and identify your limiting beliefs.  Every time you find yourself thinking that you can’t do something, ask yourself, ‘Why not?” 

“Most of the things you find yourself wanting will have little or no bearing on the happiness in your life.” 

“Before passing judgement on someone’s choices, stop and look at the questions they were trying to answer.” 

“Just because there are things you still want, that doesn’t mean you can’t feel gratitude for all the wealth and abundance already in your life.” 

-Domonique Bertolucci,  The Happiness Code:  Ten Key To Being The Best You Can Be
