I Love Monday

This weekend’s time change reminds me how much I love sleep. And if you read the cover story in the new Medical Examiner, you know that sleep is EXTREMELY important to health. If a person is doing everything else right except getting sufficient sleep, then that person isn’t healthy. Of course, it’s not always the person’s fault. There are medications …

I LOVE MONDAY

When it comes to things to love on a Monday (or any other day), random acts of kindness have to be near the top of the list. When a complete stranger – strike that – a perfect stranger does something kind, it’s profound beyond any connection to the act itself. I remember once, on Augusta’s legendary Tobacco Road, I made …

One word. You know what it is. The C word. Ahhhhh….

Communication is a wonderful thing. Clarity is also splendid. Conversation is enjoyable. To quote Tony the Tiger, they’re great, all of them. They’re also a bit of a challenge sometimes. Even best friends sometimes miscommunicate, and husbands and wives who think they can finish the other’s sentences are well advised not to. Because for every good thing that can be …

To all the advertisers who make the Augusta Medical Examiner possible, and to all the Examiner’s loyal readers: thank you!

I Love Monday!

And I love this weather! And I love LOW HUMIDITY! Not that we can really complain about the summer of 2014. Last week we had a handful of absolutely beastly-hot days, but by and large this has not been a bad summer at all. As for today, if you have to go outside, bundle up if you’re in the Medical …

I’m going to come out today. No more hiding in the closet for me: I love human beings. There. I said it. Finally. It’s hard to believe there was a time when I thought it was rude and cold and impersonal for someone to have an answering machine or an answering service. I could imagine them sitting right there choosing …

I absolutely love art. I realize art comes in many forms: music, sculpture, literature, dance, and on the list goes. If I could choose any artistic talent to perfect, I would choose to be a painter. I suppose that means, when translated, what am I waiting for? I should take lessons.

I Love Monday

I love a rainy day. I love a rainy night. There is no bad rainy day. Is it a weekday? Are you at work? Be glad you’re stuck inside. Is it a day off, a Saturday or Sunday? Take advantage of the rain to get something done inside you’ve been putting off. Straighten up the garage. Read a book. Watch …
