As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Whatever Wednesday: Finding your sunbeam
"DJ on a cold morning" by marymactavish @flickr.com
That dog looks mighty happy, doesn’t he?
Up on the table, warming himself in a sunbeam, not caring what anyone thinks of him.
Have you ever found a sunbeam and stood in it?
The warmth floods your body, brings light to your heart and your soul, and sends a smile to your face.
We don’t do that enough.
Sure we’re supposed to take time to smell the roses and all that, but when was the last time you intentionally found and stood in a sunbeam?
I’ll wait while you mull that over.
I sit in a sunbeam every day the sun is available.
Do you?
You should.
Find your sunbeam.

Research Request: Quick Survey for Emory Grad Student
Hi y’all!
From time to time, I’m contacted by Graduate students and researchers asking me to share their work in the realm of Postpartum Mood & Anxiety Disorders.
If you have given birth within the past two years and feel up to completely a relatively painless survey (I’m told 10 minutes or less), I know the researcher would really appreciate it. She’s part of a class project at Emory University in Atlanta.
A quick note from the grad student: “All information is anonymous and will be kept confidentially. We really appreciate your help in learning more about postpartum.”
You can complete the survey by clicking here.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
(Also – please pass this on to anyone you think may be willing to also complete the survey or knows someone who would be willing to do so!)
