But apparently, it is. One source says that failure to wash hands, especially with the spread of the recent Swine Flu virus, “contributes to 1.7 million hospital-acquired infections each year.” Now, Boston-area hospitals have “launched hand-washing campaigns, including some that involve rap music videos and undercover surveillance.” Do you think this aids in getting people to wash hands more frequently? I’m not sure, but it certainly gets people talking about it. Image: sxc.hu.

Some will see the negatives in their lives magnified; the mediocre job somehow seems like the worst thing that could ever happen, the weight issues or the difficult relationship becomes an all-consuming entity. However, the people hit the hardest during this season of togetherness, may just be those suffering from the recent death of a loved one. This week I have been faced with the difficult task of attempting to console three different friends after they have received news of the death of a family member. Since I consider it the role of a good friend to be supportive, especially during these times; I did some research about how to best help my friends during this most difficult of times. When the typi...

Ok… I’ll agree that occasionally  people tend to say a few dumb things at that time too … such as … “You’ll get over it…. Or they freeze in silence ….But what if we spoke to every person at work today… as they were wounded? If you think about the ordinary blows that strike a person’s week – when life hits back in times you least expect it, you’ll agree that carefully chosen words come across like apples of gold. And we know from research – that man...

Phone calls, emails, a surprise or planned visit at the door that has a big hug on the other side, a held hand over coffee or tea, or sitting patiently by their side as they go in for treatments. When that support falls by the wayside, it makes the determination to fight this disease or any other less worth the effort. In my humble opinion as someone fighting cancer, we sometimes fight harder to overcome disease for others more than ourselves. Because it is in their caring and the will in their eyes that gives us a much brighter hope than we find in ourselves. It is the lack of support or caring that set...
