Stairwells to the 2nd-3rd Floor Pretty Uncommon in Hospitals

I really was hesitant to write about this on my blog. The content seemed a bit dark and well not the news topic I wanted to write about on Awesome. But I couldn't help it. I was compelled because I thought for all the steps one would take on their pedometer, in some places, it would begin once you took the elevator to the 2nd floor hmmm. Getting to the point- I realized how easy it was for a women to be in the stairwell of a hospital and not be found until several days or weeks afterwards, and that's because many health professionals at hospitals don't take the stairs. What!!!!! That's right long gone are the days for steps you once trekked in jr. high, high school and college. So what if something is wrong with elevator well there must be a plan C because plan B is likely not the steps.

To be fair I can understand why you'd monitor the steps and the hospitals. They should be. Good security never hurts. However, to not know the diagram or layout makes my eyes widen. It's like a college campus in some places and if nothing else you should at least be able to get to the 2nd floor by walking.

From a health point why aren't we stepping it up or down sometimes? So what's my reason for the stairs? It's good cardio that is sometimes missing in my life. It's healthy and positive effects (just like a treadmill). Besides,  I like the satisfaction of knowing my heal to toe mechanics are (walking) still in motion. We take a lot for granted. And I just learned why, we've done away with the basics. Just like students don't dare do simple math without a calculator we don't dare go to the second floor without the elevator. It gives the appearance of quick. Now don't go getting all excited either. There are legitimate reasons for the elevator to the second floor it's called not feeling well or other difficulties. That's exactly why I don't mind putting my quads to work every once in a while. I am sensitive to those who have challenges in that area.

Don't get me wrong it can be tiring. So the choice is definitely an individual one. I like a mix of both as it wouldn't be advisable going up to the 20th floor. I'd problem need medical assistance. But there is a difference between 2 and 20 if you know what I mean. This link might be a tad bit motivating. http://abcnews.go.com/US/orderly-reported-woman-hospital-stairwell-week-body-found/story?id=20630617

The Day After Christmas

Christmas day was great. I didn't go to bed until the wee hours again and needless to say I was wrapping gifts at 4:30 that morning as the children rose ready to open their presents. It probably would be useless to most to continue wrapping when everyone would open them minutes after but I did so anyway. I like to do it and wrapping gifts is as much a part of the Christmas festivities as decorating the tree. And just as Christmas day was fun so was the day after.  We followed up Christmas dinner with a fish fry and a game of spades. It was great and me and my partner won the game. We had  great time laughing and kidding with each other. We listened to music and sang along. Nothing like those oldies but goodies. We all took part from the oldest to the youngest adding our voices to the music. To outsiders it may have seemed like no big deal but to me it was as much a part of loving each others as was the gift giving. I sat back and thought that's what ...

After Christmas Practical Suggestion

I'm really not an expert in this area but, after going over a few records for a family member, I quickly understand the importance of not just tossing your bank statements around and not viewing them. I saw where they were paying for subscriptions almost three times the normal amount. Having said that, many of you will get those bank statements detailing all the great gifts you have given. But you may want to double check them.  Make sure you haven't been billed twice for the same thing or billed for something you didn't purchase at all. With theft at an all time high, it's not unlikely for this to happen. Remember to keep tabs of your records. Lately I've been taking note of information regarding fraud and identity theft and it seems that the holiday season is a peak time for these unfortunate situations to take place. And familiarizing yourself with what steps to take (hopefully this won't happen) can ease the burden of a  di...

Thoughts for today

Whatever you endeavor to do, let it be yours. Never let anyone try and project their thoughts as yours, their feelings, or their motives. No, let every man reason for himself seeking God to find their perspective. We should never try to attach our needs to someone else except we commune together. And never ask a man, especially a woman to carry the burden for anothers errors lest they be in agreement. This is why I find the precision of these words to be exact. Actions not words are the true criterion for the attachment of friends~George Washington
