Something we should all remember. Life is beautiful provided we have the right attitude.
A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is
fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair
fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is
legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.
His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move
necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the
lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his
room was ready.
As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a
visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet
sheets that had been hung on his window.

I love it,' he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having
just been presented with a new puppy.
Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait.'
'That doesn't have anything to do with it,' he replied.
Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the
furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I
already decided to love it. 'It's a decision I make every
morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the
day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts
of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be
thankful for the ones that do.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus
on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored
away.. Just for this time in my life.
Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what
you've put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness
in the bank account of memories!
Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank. I am
still depositing.
'Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
Have a nice day, unless you already have other plans.
