Blowing In The Wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take
'Till he knows that too many people have died?
The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

"THE FIRST CASUALTY OF WAR IS TRUTH."

Good Morning Sunshine

What a day for a daydream. Spring has come and a newness has taken hold of this beautiful world. The birds outside my club have been crazy doing bird stuff with nests and things like that.Everybody is cleaning up their yards and buying flora. You know what I mean. Hi everybody. I hope this finds you feeling well. Helen Keller said "LIfe is a daring adventure or it is nothing at all" She was blind and deaf ya know.

TODAYS TASKS:

Smell the flowers
Breathe
Eat rainbow sherbert
Show your legs
Sit in the sunshine 20 minutes
Stretch
Take a stroll

Thank God for it all

Happy Birthday Dr.Bacani

Dear Dialysis Friends,

I hope all is well. Access working good? Take care of that "sucker", it is your lifeline. Been going to all of your treatments? Are you cutting any of them short? Read the blog I did about that. Have you been eating your phosphate binders with all of your meals? If you don't, your bones will become brittle, you will get severe itching and damage to your heart and other vital organs.Stop messin around. Take them and all your meds. Get good rest, exercise and eat well.Diabetics.....Wow you guys. Watch that sugar. Be careful. You got a tough job, but I know you can do it.
I know how very trying your situation is. Don't focus on your medical problems AT All. Do something else, think about something else. If you don't do what I say, everyone around you will be sick too. Is that what you want? I didn't think so. You're so sweet and special. God loves you so much. Read Romans Chapter 8.
I want to wish a great man a very happy birthday. Without him I don't think my life would have turned out this great. Love You Dr.B

Have a great one,
Jodi

A Job Well Done

I found a quote that describes my job at Curves exactly the way I feel. It goes like this.



Experiencing the silent satisfaction of a job well done. Fulfilling high expectations for customers. Sharing and celebrating team victories. Making the most of our time together and anticipating an even brighter future. Knowing in our hearts that even our most routine tasks make a meaningful contribution to our company vision, and therefore the world- this makes the difference between eight hours of ' have to' and eight hours of 'want to.' This makes work fun.

Inventer Dies

Willem Kolff inventer of the artificial kidney which evolved into the dialysis machine has died at the age of 97.

He was true genius and because of him I have been able to live.

Dr. Kolff was a Dutch -born. He was responsible for many other medical devices that saves lives including the Jarvik-7 artificial heart.

Dr.Kolff created the first kidney machine from laundry tubs, a wooden drum, semipermeable sausage casing, and an electric motor. We've come a long way. Things change daily.

Today more than 200,000 people are having dialysis because of the good Doctor.

He worked at the Cleveland Clinic for a time after he immigrated to the U.S. in 1950.

Dr. Kolff 's first patients only lived a few days on the machine, but in 1945 the artificial kidney allowed a woman to live for 7 more years.

Here I am 27 years and going strong. All my thanks to Dr. Kolff.

A hundred hugs and a thousand kisses,
Jodi
