Medical care goes beyond the biology - Sometimes the most therapeutic thing we can offer isn’t another prescription… it’s presence. #Healthcare #CompassionateCare #WholePersonHealth #WellnessPharmacist #HealthHappinessHope

Amazing words for may areas of business and life 🫡
When there is no explanation, the vacuum gets filled by speculation. Those questions don’t arise because people know the answer—they arise because they don’t. Transparency is what gives that discretion legitimacy. Consistency is what builds trust in the process.

This is so true and did make me chuckle 🤭 #Innovación #darkhumour #USBfrustration
When the inventor of the USB stick dies they will gently lower the coffin, then pull it back up, turn it the other way, then lower it again.

Here's a little 🤏 (literally) Snoopy for your Friday - you're welcome ☺️
Having a bad day? Here's the exact moment Charlie Brown adopted Snoopy around 75 years ago. The Peanuts comic strip, created by Charles M. Schulz, first debuted on October 2, 1950, and quickly became one of the most influential and beloved comic series in history. Centered around the gentle, anxious character Charlie Brown, the strip explored themes of childhood, failure, friendship, and quiet resilience. On that very first day, Charlie Brown’s imaginative beagle Snoopy also appeared, originally depicted as a more realistic dog before evolving into the iconic, whimsical personality fans know today. His introduction alongside Charlie Brown in 1950 effectively marked the beginning of their lifelong companionship, making 2025 the 75th anniversary of their debut together. 🎥: Snoopy Come Home (1972)

Last week I questioned why Wales weren’t playing in red against Ireland (green) and was told it was to prevent problems with colour blindness - fair enough. So how are France and England allowed to play in this evenings colours then?🤷‍♂️ #6Nations2026

#Daydreambeliever ever since 💕
Hard to believe it’s been 59 years since The Monkees first aired on September 12, 1966. We were just four kids with guitars and energy, and the world watched us. Grateful for the memories and your support in keeping our spirit alive. Here’s to more! #TheMonkees #TVHistory

Daydream believer …my first single and still one of my all time faves
Should I be embarrassed to say I was a huge fan of The Monkees when I was a youngster?
