Good things for the day...

A great quote for today... no matter WHAT you do for a living

"do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, by all the means you can, to all of those you can…” 

- John Wesley

18th century reformer of the Church of England

A fantastic book to read (I just finished it last night)

Still Alice is a compelling debut novel about a 50-year-old woman's sudden descent into early onset Alzheimer's disease, written by first-time author Lisa Genova, who holds a Ph. D in neuroscience from Harvard University. Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children and a house on the Cape, is a celebrated Harvard professor at the height of her career when she notices a forgetfulness creeping into her life. As confusion starts to cloud her thinking and her memory begins to fail her, she receives a devastating diagnosis: early onset Alzheimer's disease. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to maintain her lifestyle and live in the moment, even as her sense of self is being stripped away. In turns heartbreaking, inspiring and terrifying, Still Alice captures in remarkable detail what's it's like to literally lose your mind...

Other great reading material - a new blog from one of my classmates and friends, Morgan. Morgan not only just got married but also just started her internship at West Music in Iowa. She is a wonderful up and coming therapist, she often set the (high) standard for our classes and I loved hearing her ideas. I have truly enjoyed getting to know her and cannot wait to read more about her adventures out in the field. Morgan's post "What the hell am I doing here " is one of my favorites. Check her out!
