smiles, rainbows, and sunshine

Today is a good day - woke up with the sun shining or at least by the time I left my house the sun was out and shining and there was a rainbow. Not a huge one that took up the entire sky, just a small one - enough to brighten my day.

Thank you! I received a few more cards, etc in the mail yesterday wishing me luck and encouragement. It is much appreciated on my end. I can feel your support and know that I have an amazing set of parents, a wonderful family, and true friends holding me up through all of this. I apologize if I've been more distant, out of touch, or out of my mind when you talk to me. My brain is usually fried by the end of the day and being able to carry on a normal conversation is often out of the question. I think of all of you often and miss you much.

I was sent this link from a friend the other day - it reminded him of me - I think it's cute and it'll make you smile.

of course you can never just watch one you tube video - so here's another by the same people that I like too.

Below are a few pictures from Bull Frog Valley Park. It's a park right up the street from school. I took a walk there yesterday while listening to Goljan. He's a pathologist that used to teach a USMLE review course. I have a bootleg copy of his lectures which I listen to - just one more way to try and get all of this info stuck in my brain.
