Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn`t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true, than be selfish and worry about my liver."--Jack Handy

Henri Nouwen:

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a person who cares.

I share this quote because I can honestly say that I know such a person. To me, she is the greatest person in the world.

On that note, I'm off to Ireland tomorrow so I wish you all a great break (or what you have left of it) and I can't wait to be back to chattin' with all of you.

I saw these quotes in The Lancet or some similar medical journal, and I copied them onto post-its and hung it up in my cubicle at work:

"...It seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.” ~Petronius, 256 BC

“Thinking is the hardest work we do, which is probably why so few people engage in it.” ~Henry Ford
