DOCTOR'S VISIT TIP

If you despise having to constantly fill out all those doctor forms ... especially the area about current medications try this tip. Take the labels off your medicine bottles and then make labels for the bottles so you know what the medicine is. Tape the labels you removed and put them on a sheet of plain typing paper, one after the other. Now, when you see the doc, hand this paper to him/her for copying for their files. ALL info is there...which doc wrote for what, what the dose is, current date of med, how many were purchased, how many refills...EVERYTHING they need to know. On the back side (if you've not used it up), Place the labels from your supplements such as garlic, celery, calcium, etc. so they know what might interact with any other new med they may think of.

Finding Hope

I found hope in this eulogy for martyred children, written by Martin Luther King in 1963:
Now I say to you in conclusion,
life is hard,
at times as hard as crucible steel.
It has its bleak and difficult moments.
Like the ever-flowing waters of the river,
life has its moments of drought and its moments of flood.
Like the ever-changing cycle of the seasons,
life has the soothing warmth of its summers
and the piercing chill of its winters.
But if one will hold on,
he will discover that God walks with him,
and that God is able to lift you from the fatigue of despair
to the buoyancy of hope
and transform dark and desolate valleys
into sunlit paths of inner peace.
May God, our source of peace, be with all of you (Romans 15:33)
