Happy Friday everyone. We usually do our regular Fun Friday article where we share something to make you smile as you head into the weekend. This week we thought we’d mix it up a bit and share some lessons learned from Queen Elizabeth who sadly passed away this week. We don’t like to get political here, so save that for other forums. However, it’s worth recognizing someone who served her nation for a long time. That’s impressive by any measure. Hopefully some of these will inspire you as you head into the weekend.

This is impressive to see the evolution of the Queen. It’s hard for me to even process that it goes back to 1935. That’s a long time ago. It’s before our current EHRs started (that was a joke).
“It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult.”
RIP Queen Elizabeth II

I love this thought. At Healthcare IT Today, this is our goal. We want to lift up the best and most impactful technology. We’ll leave the hate and destruction to someone else.
The Queen represented so many lost qualities. Decency, manners, politeness, kindness, integrity and so much more. It is truly the end of an era. #QueenElizabeth pic.twitter.com/LadRncybAN

I agree that she represented all of those things. Although, I’m not sure I agree that it’s the end of an era. I see many in healthcare that still exhibit these qualities.

Is there anything better than seeing someone experience pure joy. This is just lovely to see and a reminder to all of us to find joyful moments in our lives as hectic as they may be.
I think Queen Elizabeth had a great sense of humour and she was a good sport. She proved this when she made her grand entrance to the London 2012 Olympics alongside Daniel Craig as James Bond.
This was absolutely magnificent.

This was a fun little twist. I advocate for more humor in all our lives.
Together again 🌹

What a great lesson of love, loyalty, and devotion. I appreciate these in my life.
The final picture of the Queen. Smiling, about to receive a new PM just two days before her death. Duty and service until the very end.#QueenElizabeth pic.twitter.com/JEHD10Fc21

Was she happy to be serving or serving to be happy?
I’m sure there are thousands more we could do. Thanks Queen Elizabeth for these important reminders.
