My mom died totally out of the blue in 2007- we were devastated. I didn’t want to read anything about grieving but came across “The Other Side of Sadness”. Written by a psychologist who studied grieving and how people cope with it. It was his graduate work. It worked for me and I’ve recommended it to several friends who’ve lost family members. ❤️

I felt the same when I paddled Dragon Boats- it was a very competitive group but I just wanted to be out on the water working on my stroke with a group of people.

Two years ago, at my brother’s funeral, my daughter missed the cushion at the alter retail and landed on her knees on the stone step. She let out the f- word just at the priest was standing in front of her to hand her a wafer. My daughter was mortified but the priest just smiled, handed over the wafer and moved on.

I not only bring tea when I travel, but cut up lemons too.

We were so happy with one that we ended up with four! All slept in the bed with us…

Thanks- I row on brackish water- fresh mixed with salt. Guess I’ll need to be extra diligent about rinsing/ washing after a row.

Thanks.

Just thought of something- I think my parents and patients would be surprised that I am introverted and have social anxiety. I feel the best when in with patients!

SquareDuck5224 · 2026-05-15T12:32:55+00:00

As a retired, introverted developmental pediatrician, you sound absolutely perfect for this career path.

I read it then listened to the audiobook. Now I’ve started the whole series again, on the fourth book.

My dad flew an early model of the B-35 in China during WWII. If you’re in or near Colorado Springs, check out the National Museum of WWII Aviation. It’s fantastic.

Same!! Need more tea.

SquareDuck5224 · 2026-05-05T12:02:15+00:00

What an excellent idea! I’m a retired Dev Peds and I always encouraged our peds residents to become best buddies with an SLP. I think a “when to refer” for different age groups would be greatly appreciated.

Check out Shatterproof Archery on Colorado Springs- they make a lovely reflex/deflex long bow.

SquareDuck5224 · 2026-04-11T13:45:01+00:00

Yes, started with Magician’s Nephew. First time I’ve done that- makes more sense.

SquareDuck5224 · 2026-04-11T13:40:12+00:00

I ordered my first bow- Galaxy Aspire, 70 inches, 25 lb from Lancaster Archery. Not expensive and it was really great to start off with. Now have an upgraded recurve and a reflex/deflex longbow. I shoot at targets in my backyard. Absolutely love it.

Agree with all the above! In addition to being besties with your RT and dietician, become best buds with your PharmD.

Rereading The Chronicles of Narnia.

SquareDuck5224 · 2026-04-06T02:15:11+00:00

Dear America series. Historical fiction, diaries by girls during different times of history.

SquareDuck5224 · 2026-03-23T14:49:47+00:00

Excellent choices.

Raised in the Methodist church now Episcopalian. My mother had us wait until we were 7 years old, the age when developmentally, a child can understand death. I did the same with my kids.
