Miss Connecticut "Absolutely Loves Physical Therapy"
Some positive thoughts are in order today in honor of everyone losing some greenbacks as the new Medicare rules take effect.
First up, we must all extend our congratulations to the newly crowned Miss Connecticut, Ashley Glenn, a Doctor of Physical Therapy student at my awesome alma mater, Quinnipiac University!!
You can follow this link to view an interview with Ashley where she talks about her platform, which includes therapeutic exercise and dance. It will be fun to watch Ashley, who is automatically dear to our hearts, as she competes in the upcoming Miss America pageant. It will be nice to hear her physical therapy connections highlighted on a national stage (and Quinnipiac too!). Good luck, Ashley!
Next, I'd like to call you attention to this fine blog post by Roderick Henderson at the Orthopaedic Physical Therapy blog. He takes the normal grumbling and complaining, puts a new spin on it, and offers some solutions. The result is that he makes some good points in what I found to be an inspiring post. I especially enjoyed his ideas for action. My favorite: "Conscious effort beyond the call of duty is required to shift this equilibrium toward a favorable outcome."
Finally, did you know smiling can make you happy even if you're not already? Give it a try!
