"Does He Need Eyebrows ? "

"I Don't Think We Are Helping" I was on both the receiving and giving end of this conversation and that is what makes up this edition of Overheard In The Office This Week.

"Where are you going ?" Was heard several times in the office last week. It was in reference to Dr. Sue and I taking off last Thursday and Friday from work. To be honest taking off of work when you own, operate and are the main producers for a small business is pretty hard to do. Sometimes it seems like more work to take off than to just keep working !

I was working on MK and talking with his wife when the topic of getting out and about came up. Without missing a beat and with a slight smile, she said, "I get out and walk the island most days!" I must have looked confused (but I think she knew I would), so she went on to explain.

I am pretty sure all of those who have gone before me had that same epiphany moment in life: that time where you stop trying to control everything and start just becoming thankful that you are still here to participate.

We have had the privilege of adjusting a lot of spines this last month and, while it is sometimes tiring, I never get tired of seeing and hearing the stories of the people who come in.

"I am in the winter of my life, and I know where I am going when I die, I figure I should make the most of my life while I have the opportunity!"

I know pain can be productive and too much rest can be destructive, but sometimes it is hard finding some middle ground. Prudence tells me to take the breaks when I need them and when available, but not to sit too long.

I am pretty sure half the reason his dad has to come see me is to keep up with E, but I know from experience, his dad wouldn't have it any other way.
