I will confess. Yesterday evening I gave myself a “time out” I was not allowed to engage with others. I was in my room thinking about all I have done. Time to reflect and breathe. I had been working 7 day weeks for a number of weeks in a row and my body was startingContinue reading “Time Out”

This morning I woke up, and as usual, had some thoughts before eventually getting out of bed. So many ideas and plans that could be made into projects and processes. I was tempted to jump up and start typing out my thoughts. And the song that came to me was one from Hamilton (yes, thatContinue reading “Hourglass”

I’m looking outside my window. There was a snow storm over the weekend. During the storm it was extremely cold and visibility was poor. Those who had to venture out for work, appointments and commitments had to do so carefully. There were a number of mishaps and delays throughout the storm. Some people were leftContinue reading “Beauty after the Storm”

As a physician, I get a lot of questions about various health care topics both within and outside my clinical setting. They usually range from issues relating to colds, rashes, surgical options, the latest diet and so forth. With the advent of the Covid19 pandemic- all the questions are pretty much in the same vein.Continue reading “Vaccine”

This morning I was going about my schedule for today. Pray, exercise, decaf, shower, dress up, click open laptops, start the “to do list”. Then I got a message that the sister of my schoolmate/friend had died. Mind you, we were last together almost 30 years ago (medical school). This is actually when and whereContinue reading “Reach Out”

“Hello darkness, my old friendI’ve come to talk with you againBecause a vision softly creepingLeft its seeds while I was sleepingAnd the vision that was planted in my brainStill remainsWithin the sound of silence” This tune is actually the ringtone for my phone. I love the haunting melody, it doesn’t make me sad, just remindsContinue reading “The Sound of Silence”

It’s been an interesting week to say the least. Someone posted a meme on social media with the Joker (as 2020) showing the clown from It (as 2021) around, helping him navigate his new workplace (the world). I actually chuckled a bit for that one. Anyway- the common theme that came across during this pastContinue reading “Sacrifice”

Admit it. Every year around this time we start writing down all the things we resolve to do by the end of the year. Lose weight. More money. Learn a new thing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having resolutions for the year. The key is making those resolutions manageable strategically. Oh, you thought IContinue reading “Resolutions”

This morning as I was looking for the right necklace to match my stay at home outfit (yes- I am one of those people), I came across a butterfly pin that made me pause. Mind you, I had seen this pin on many occasions while looking for the right accessory for the day. And usuallyContinue reading “Butterfly”

Where I am, there is snow on the ground and the temperature is a bit cold. Our teams are manning the antibody infusion tents for those with mild to moderate Covid19. These same team members are also getting their vaccines to protect their patients, colleagues, friends and family. So there appears to be hope onContinue reading “T’is the Season”
