Beautiful BC, also abbreviates to 'bring cash'
I've taken the past couple weeks off to do some relaxing and vacationing in the beautiful British Columbia. Completing a trip and a dream I've had for the past couple of years. As I write, summer is slowly creeping up to an end, as cooler and breezier weather wraps around us here in Canada. I am always sad to see summers end, but I always look forward to fall as the colours change in the trees. September always renew me with a new sense of purpose, whether it's going back to school or returning to work. If summer never ends, then how do we know it has ever started?

Reading
When Breath Becomes Air - Paul Kalanithi
I saw this book unintentionally on my coworker's bookshelf, it caught my eye right away. The book talks about a doctor's journey and his final days battling late stage lung cancer. Doctors bring life into the world, improve our lives and grapple with death. Despite all their training and accomplishment, they are also mortal and suffer pain and disease like the rest of us. As someone who is oblivious to how the medical world works, I gain a new perspective in life and in death from a Stanford Neurosurgeon.
