APRIL Timely Topics-sunshine, spring, special days

In the northern hemisphere, spring brings longer, warmer days but also health challenges. The season is ideal for outdoor activities like walking, cycling, and gardening. Christians may observe Easter in April. The month also raises awareness about sunburn, insect bites, and water safety. Additionally, April 19 marks a solemn day for Oklahoma, remembering the 1995 bombing.

In the northern half of the earth, it’s finally spring all month long. Warmer, longer days are pleasant but can bring new health challenges and opportunities.

I hope you can take advantage of the warmth to be outdoors doing fun and healthy activities-walking, biking, swimming, gardening, and playing with kids. I’ll share some posts to help you do those activities safely.

April timely topics include

April 19-remembering Oklahoma City

On April 19, 1995, a domestic terrorist left a bomb in a truck in front of the federal building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; I had lived there for 7 years while in medical school and residency. 168 people died, including 19 children. Until 9/11/2001, it was the largest loss of life due to terrorism on U.S. soil.

The incident was shocking and traumatic to our entire country but especially here in our state. Oklahoma is usually a peaceful place; we deal with tornadoes and floods but not bombings. So every year we remember the victims, their families, and especially those who rescued the wounded, and the survivors who rebuilt their lives.
