Words of Wisdom?

At work, I frequently get asked these two questions (in this order) by my patients:

1. Question asked: "Do you have kids?" My answer: "Nope."
2. Question asked: "Are you married?" My answer: "Nope, someday."

Well, I was asked these two questions again by a patient I had on Tuesday night. My answers were the same as they always are. However, the reply I received back from this patient was quite different than before. When I told her I wasn't married, she just about fell off of her bed in shock. Her reply to my answer of "No, I'm not married," was "Oh my gosh, you are so cute." She continued to ask how old I am and I said that I'm almost 25. She then said "Don't worry, there's still hope." Now I know she meant this in the nicest way possible, to encourage me, etc. But holy smokes, I'm only in my mid 20's, not 70!! She told me that she was almost 40 when she met her husband and it was well worth the wait. She also offered this piece of advice: "Don't go to bars to find a guy, they're all jerks, all they'll do is break your heart." All I could do was giggle in between the awkardness of this topic. It was interesting and just one of the many fascinating conversations that pop up at work.

This morning we woke up to several new inches of snow on the ground. My parent's (he's mine too) dog Toby enjoys rolling around & smashing his nose in the snow.










Here are some fun Christmas links to enjoy:

Here's my first post on my "real" blog. My wonderful friend Katie has been encouraging me to create a blog on here for quite some time now. She even came up with the title to this blog "Vitals of Life." Thank you Katie for your friendship and never ending encouragement!!!
Merry Christmas everyone! Just wanted to give a big THANK YOU to my friend Melissa for giving me her Christmas former Christmas tree. It fits perfectly in my living room and looks great.
