Connection

This week’s 200 words project idea (coming to you this weekend) was one about how radiologists’ scans became more accurate when they saw patient photographs on their report.

An old co-worker and friend, who received it via email, responded saying the message was apt as she had just been diagnosed with breast cancer last week. She was working on keeping her spirits up and we exchanged a couple of emails. She is as bubbly and positive a person as anyone I’ve met – I am hopeful she makes a quick recovery.

For all those of us who share our thoughts/learnings/fears regularly via these blogs, it’s easy to forget that, every once in a while, we do succeed in making a genuine connection with someone reading the post. Once in a while, we do manage to actually help someone in their path. We may or may not be told when that happens but it does happen.

So, this note is a thank you to the many bloggers whose blogs I read. Your posts do connect with me from time to time and, at the very least, make me think and question every single day.

Thank you for taking the time to make the connection.
