attitude--if only - we all were like this -----

[Guest guest]

We all know chains dont usually make any wish come true etc- but the words of

this are just too deep to bypass...... if only we all could uphold our attitudes

daily as she does- we would all be happier........ Hugs N Love- Moon

The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully

dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and

makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a

nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making

the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home,

she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.

As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual

description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been

hung on her window.

" I love it, " she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having

just been presented with a new puppy.

'Mrs. , you haven't seen the room . just wait. "

" That doesn't have anything to do with it, " she 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.

Pass this message to 7 people except you and me. You will receive a

miracle tomorrow.

Now, STOP! Did you hear what I just said. You WILL receive a miracle

tomorrow. So send it. I sent it to more places than necessary

...

maybe I'll get more than one miracle.
