Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory, or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible––and there is still so much work to do. nytimes.com/2020/06/18/opi…

Don’t stop praying. Don’t stop believing. Don’t stop trusting. Don’t stop hoping. Don’t stop loving. Don’t stop giving. Don’t stop serving. Don’t stop forgiving. Don’t stop dreaming. Don’t stop laughing. Don’t stop learning. Don’t stop growing. Don’t stop.

Key Points #dysphagia in #Parkinsons: *Only 5% w/ 'normal' swallow *93% had some residue (19% w/ severe build up w/ bread) *25% aspiration *73% (87/119) said they had NO difficulty swallowing! Identify early, eval fully, treat! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28828545/ Pflug C, et al. (2018)

Don't let being "right" talk you out of being kind.

We’re following a God we can’t see, for a lifetime we can’t measure, to a heaven we can’t comprehend, because of grace we didn’t earn. Be patient with each other. We're all looking through a knothole at eternity trying to figure our lives out today.

Happy Birthday to my little Jack! #TwoSweet
