Journals Recreate the Memories
Thursday, April 26th, 2012 /
It's been 12 years, but I can tell you the name of the gelatteria in Florence where we had the best gelato (it was Vivoli). How about the little restaurant in Marigot, St. Martin where we watched the sun set (La Vie en Rose)? With a collection of journals for every one of our trips, I can recall the entire itinerary.My favorite journal books are 3 x 5 or smaller with lined pages. They are easy to keep in my back pocket and when time permits (e.g. on the beach, in the train, on the plane, in the restaurant), I make cryptic entries about where we have been, how we got there, the restaurants and museums we visited, the challenges of speaking the language of the locals, and the characters we meet along the way. Some people are devoted to Moleskine journals, but I'm not that fussy. As long as .. more»

Get That Retiring Nurse a Gift, Stat!
Sunday, April 15th, 2012 /
Chances are, if there is a retiring nurse in your family or circle of friends, you know how difficult it is for them to come to terms with their retirement.Think about it. These people swore to spend their lives helping the ill, console those in need, and assisting physicians in their work. They work tirelessly to make us feel better. For the short (or extended) time you are in the hospital, they go above and beyond to ensure your comfort, and very rarely do they receive the thanks they deserve.From what I've seen, once a nurse, always a nurse. Retired nurses still want to do their part, and friends and loved ones still look to them for guidance when it comes to health and wellness matters.
