Thought for your Friday

It's overcast here in Chicago this Friday.  Not raining, but overcast.  Perfect weather for some reflection.

Yes, it's made by Cleveland Clinic, which is one of the hospitals we work with.  (Yes, it really is that white.  And yes, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with that health system.)  But none of that is the point.

 I always try to stop when someone is rude to think that I don't know what's going on in their lives.  I am probably not successful the majority of the time, but I try.  Yes, this video is focused on a healthcare perspective, but I think it's something to think about in all facets of life.

 I hope you all have a lovely weekend and take a little time to reflect... it's good for you ;)

 p.s. Update
Janie Rubes was nice enough to share a video that I think is what I was trying to mumble my way through.  
I wish I had a way with words... I don't.  Today in yoga something happened while Molly and I were talking with our instructor after class and I just stood there and immediately looked at my feet and said something that didn't make anyone feel better.  Molly said something perfect.  And later I told her what a way with words she has and how I appreciate it.
This rant has nothing to do with the video.
Here it is and thanks to Rubina:

    Okay so this is the second video you've posted this week and it hasn't been my favorite one. So now you get to watch this one and we can talk about it on Sunday.

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one:  the chicago history museum .  it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway.  that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around.   I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name).  the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago.  it was fun to see what it was really like.  and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa.  But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas?  Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season.  i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday.  it was all over the mall.  it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change
