Medical practice patient restroom

 

(photo: An empty soap dispenser sends the wrong message, on so many levels.)

Her (the medical receptionist): Do you have an appointment?

Him: (Rather than say, did you not read the sign-in sheet after you took it from the counter top where it was filled it out in front of you?) He said, yes.

Getting around people who are doing what you are thinking about doing

A quote with a paradox

 

(photo: Perfect? What is perfection? Perhaps it is a sense of legitimate balance)

Getting around people who are doing what you are thinking about doing makes your first steps less scary.

That’s one of the benefits of Mid Life Celebration’s five daily blogs on balance.

If you hang out with people who say balance is BS, guess what?

If you desire a different approach, get closer to people who do it differently.
