Attitude Is Everything
The 92-year-old 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 patiently waiting in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled
sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker
to the elevator, the aide 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. Jones, 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.”
What were you thinking about when you woke up this
morning?
Freedom is the right to be wrong, not the right to do
wrong.
– John G. Riefenbaker
