Don’t forget if you have written a post which you would like readers to see, just leave a comment below.

The prize – if there was one 😉 – this week for the best blog headline goes to Carolyn for “Be alert to both the absence of normal as well as the presence of abnormal”. Of course the post that follows is well worth reading – as always.

Until next week,
May you find hope and solace
Yours with much love always,

Thank you dear Marie for awarding me the prize – – what? There is no prize?!? 😉 – for best blog headline.
I cannot however take any credit – it’s lifted verbatim from a fascinating interview by Public Radio International’s Marco Werman with retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman: “Be alert to both the absence of normal, as well as the presence of the abnormal”.
He was referring to his military deployment to Iraq in 2004 when he said those words to Marco, but that advice is so fitting for patients – especially women – because researchers tell us that we are significantly more likely than our male counterparts to attempt to minimize the severity of our symptoms – no matter how severe!
Take care, and thanks again. ♥
xoxo
