Space: Actual (and beyond)

Today's post shall be dedicated to Space. For those of us in the space science group... and to welcome the return of Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica tonight on telly... Suzanne and Rob, scoff all you will, but if you watched it, you'd be hooked too...

Space. It's big right? Or is it? I believe we often regard space as that giant expanse of darkness and mystery above our heads... mostly empty (without even air forgodsake) only every once and a while interrupted by stuff like planets, space junk, and aliens.

But what if we think outside the box today, and think of space in other forms...

Space can be where we live, or feel at home. This is my space, I like it here. Then space becomes no longer the mysterious and scary unknown, but the familiar and safe.

Or what if we think of space from the emotional point of view? Ask yourself... do you make space in your life for new people and experiences? Are you open to every available opportunity? Is there space for improvement? We often think that we have no spare time or energy in our lives, they are too packed, there is no space. Or time. That is another concept one can look at in many ways... but not now, now it is Space's turn. No Space for Time today.

Hmmmm.... ponder that future doctors, and let this inspire us all to look at our lives and our work from different points of view today, and be open to change and new opportunities.

Dr. Almost there

PS. I have recently been forced to view my own data from many new points of view, which is most likely the inspiration for this post. Plus I am in an odd mood today, so if the above seem like the ramblings of a madwoman, forgive me. Plus I am late starting work today, have a meeting tomorrow I need to cram for, and inhaled too much hairspray. On the upside I attempted loose curls today & my hair looks pretty good :)
