Flowers, Grindstones and Big Shoulder Day!

Today is a day that I need to just go get Rebecca flowers. She is feeling the crunch of medical school
pressure as she enters the last third of her internal medicine rotation. We went to dinner last night with friends and co-workers and it was great to just get her away from the books for one night. But she was back at it today getting up at 5am to be out the door by 5:30am. I don't think that she will be expecting flowers and hopefully it brightens her day.

Today's quote is a proverb with an anonymous author:

“It's tough trying to keep your feet on the ground, your head above the clouds, your nose to the grindstone, your shoulder to the wheel, your finger on the pulse, your eye on the ball and your ear to the ground.”
