My office

I thought it might be nice to display a picture of my office. In fact, I 'm not sure why but I do not think I have a picture of my office on my website. I think I need to correct that. I have been here for 26 years and we are just about out of space. within the next 5 years I plan to be in a bigger space or another building to handle all o the growth we have been experiencing in the past several years.

I have approximately 3000 square feet in this facility and we use almost every area.

Time flies when you - BUSY

Last Saturday I "pulled an all nighter". I haven't done that for a long time. But my wife Marla and Son Noah were gone visiting a friend that had just had a baby in Texas. (Thank goodness for Delta Skymiles and free trips associated with them!) So, I had a weekend to do what I wanted to... I wanted to work ON my Practice and not just IN my practice. I had a few patient files - Personal Injury reports to do - but I mainly worked on improving the systems of my practice.

I have been using a wonderful paper scanning system to transfer much of the paper in my practice and store in on the secure server. I have 5 different daily backups of the data and it is really making the communication system so much more efficient. All of the staff have e-mail that we send all of the paperwork in the practice with PDF attachment so much of the practice is becoming paperless.

I when up to Fort Wayne hospital to see my father. He has been there for about a week now. Dehydrated and weak... I took him some protein drinks,protein bars, and whole food supplements ... He is not really doing all that well. I wonder .... My Mom passed away in October of 2003 and all of this just makes you sit down and wonder what all the business and fast flying time is all about.

I got a call from my oldest son Kyle on the way back from visiting with my Dad. I am so proud of him. He is spending a year - maybe more -with a wonderful group called the Masters Commission in Phoenix, Arizona at the First Phoenix Church of God. It is a terrific mix between a mentoring, discipleship, and bible college rolled into a fabulous life experience. He is a part of something in his life that for a whole year straight - he will be creating wonderful memories. He always starts off his conversation with me with "Dad I have been SO BUSY!!!" I think to myself.... that is what he has always seen from parents - how could he do any thing less? I plan to create many more memories with him when he gets home for the summer.

I have always been BUSY in my life. As I get older, and hopefully wiser, I am making great strides in being busy with the things that will be the important things for me or others to remember. When I was in the Hospital visiting my Dad I found my self saying things like..."Dad remember when I was little and you......" You know the kind of story. You see, THAT is what we want to have to talk about with those that we love, The REMEMBER WHEN's.....

Life is not all about getting great chiropractic care... But part of it is... The trick is "Remembering When" to do the right things in our lives on a consistent basis.

I "remember when" for a lot of things my life. I don't talk about them all to everyone. Some "remember whens" are just for you to remember.

Those are the ones you remember when time flies by too fast and you stop to take inventory of what is happening... You know what I mean? When was the last time in your busy day you took time to do a "Remember When"? Do you remember?

Take a moment today - do some "remember whens" and give them a call!
