In Pacific Palisades. Credit...Loren Elliott for The New York TimesWon’t be using this platform to rant and rave about all that is going on but one would think something is amidst in the atmosphere for such a string of continual bizarre events occurring. One is almost afraid to get out of bed in the morning for fear of something else you have to cope with. But foremost on my mind since January 7th is the tragedy in California. Such beauty taken away in minutes.

Philosopher and writer Friedrich Nietzsche on enjoying the process:"The end of a melody is not its goal."I like reading through these untranslatable words that capture a thought or emotion that fits so perfectly with life’s experiences but where there is nothing close to it in the English language. Jaysus – IndonesianAn unfunny joke that’s told so badly that you actually laugh. Tartle – ScottishThe hesitation before introducing someone when you’ve forgotten their name.

Yes, indeed we made it through the holidays in one piece. I must say with all the prep, packing, driving, meeting friends and family, the hugs, the laughter, and the fun it was all worth it. Even in some cases the time was limited but you got to hear their voices and hear their stories. It is all about the stories and experiences – good, bad or indifferent. Hopefully you had a little time to reflect and ponder things in your life and establish maybe a new track or direction in the coming year.

Me at Christmas when I was almost three and still the only child. Looks like nothing was spared as I got everything including a horse rocker, play oven, tea set and more dolls. There are 4 Saturdays, 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays and Tuesdays of the month of December. There is a myth that states this happens every 823 years. Not trueBefore you get too excited about this once-in-a -lifetime event and start telling your family and friends, know this: any such claims are false.

Dutch watchmaker and writer Corrie ten Boom on worry:"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength."If you look for evidence that people are conspiring to hold you back and the world is working against you, then it will take you no time at all to find precisely that. If you expect to encounter helpful people and experience a world that is working with you, then you find plenty of evidence to support that view as well.

Words on a panelAnyway you do it words make the world go around. Good, bad, or indifferent ‘they’ are powerful, influential and inspiring to name a few characteristics. The image above is from a freestanding panel that was placed at the end of a patient corridor which led to a work environment on the other side. The open area/work environment was for admins, nurses and doctors which was to exemplify the team working together for the cancer patient.
