What am I Reading? - What
if There Is Nothing Wrong With You: A Practice in Reinterpretation by Henkels
Susan Munich ~ Susan Henkels has worked as a psychotherapist for more than 45
years. That means she’s spent decades smiling and nodding, decades handing over
tissues at the appropriate moment — and decades hearing people tell her all the
things about themselves that need to be fixed.
One day, as she was listening to a patient take her
through the “whole list of what was wrong with her,” says Henkels, “I thought
in the middle of this litany, ‘What? There’s actually nothing wrong with her.’”
From that moment, she realized there is a surprising
power to be found in prompting people to ask themselves, “What if there’s
nothing wrong with me?” Read More Here.
· What am I Listening
to? – A lot of classic rock. I
found a new radio station that plays it and it really is a good time. Even if I
do not know the song I still enjoy it and I cannot say that about any other
kind of music. The Eagles, Bob Segar, Fleetwood Mac, Three Dog Night, Elton
John, Billy Joel, Carly Simon, James Taylor, America, Toto, etc. FM 92.9
The Drive
· What Quote am I
pondering? – Been an eventful week and the one that keeps swirling through
my brain is “Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming” ~ Dory
from Disney’s Finding Nemo. Sometimes that’s all you can do.
· What am I
Researching? – Kidney
Stones – a friend of mine suffers from chronic kidney stones, he passes
about one every six weeks. Another friend found out very abruptly via screaming
pain that he has a 4 cm kidney stone. There
are two things I immediately think of, someone said once that kidney stones are
the closest thing the male of our species can experience that is close to the
pain of Childbirth. This leads me to the Friends episode when Phoebe is giving birth
and Joey has to pass a kidney stone (hilarious all around). There are several types
of kidney stones, they are created and caused by varying things happening in
your body. #1 thing to do is, during A LOT of water, pass the stone and then
have it examined to reveal its source to prevent them in the future. The other
item I am learning more about is the Trapezius
Muscle. This muscle is the current source of my personal pain – literally.
No idea what I did to tick it off, but it is PISSED! Muscle relaxers and pain
killers are my current friends.
· Yummy Meal of the Week
– Salad, yes is my favorite
item this week. Salad with lettuce, carrots, cheese, egg, croutons, and homemade
buttermilk ranch dressing. I have no link to give you a recipe for the salad. I
think you can handle it. Oh, and Bacon Cheddar Ranch dip with Ritz crackers is
the BOMB!
· What did I Learn? –
In my job I live in MS Excel
and while Excel is a very handy application there are cheats I use to move
things along when I am dealing with a large amount of data (which happens to be
on a regular basis) I recently upgraded to MS Excel 64 byte to help move
processes a little faster. Come to learn my utility cheat does not play well with
this higher version. My cheat of choice
is ASAP Utilities. If you use Excel a lot, I would definitely recommend it. The
answer to my current dilemma – if you are wondering -- is to use the free
version of ASAP on my personal laptop and that way I can still utilize it when
needed.
· What am I Watching?
– Still watching Blindspot, we
are in toward the end of Season two. I am also watching the Rookie.
Loving both! Also watched Big Hero
6 – just love that movie. I really love almost all Disney movies. There are some I have not seen and some I will
never watch again but overall Disney rocks.
