[ Post a Response | Ask Cheryl Carlson ]
Posted by Kathy Walden I have a kind of funny story. While I was still in medical school, I was doing my surgery rotation in October. For those of you who don't know, on a surgery team, the medical students round on the patients first at 5:00 am, then the residents at 6:00 am, then all of us with the attending at 7:00 am before morning report (1 hour case report EVERY flippin' morning). So there I was half way thru my rotation, feeling already burned out, abused, exhausted. Then I was coming up the Pennsylvania Ave exit at 4:45 am to go to Sparrow, and felt like I almost drove into the most beautiful orange orb of a setting moon on a sunrise horizon. It was breath taking. So I tried to share this with my team when I got to the hospital, and got responses like, "Kathy, you have too much time on your hands," and simple blank stares like, "Why on earth is this important?" For me it helped me feel alive again in the middle of a rotation that I felt was slowly sucking the life-blood out of me. So I just chalked it up to a secret between God and myself, and used that energy to get me thru the rest of the rotation (and boy, did it get worse)!! As you said, absolutely nothing about dog training. Kathy Walden

I LOVE those pictures. I'm always the person in a group to notice these beautiful atmospheric phenomena, but far be it for me to be able to take a picture of it like you did Carole. 61
