The 92 - year old, petite, well-poised lady who is legally blind, moved to a nursing home recently. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. Maurine Jones is the most lovely, gracious, dignified woman that i have ever had the pleasure of meeting. While i have never aspired to attain her depth of wisdom, i do pray that i will learn from her vast experience. |

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvred her waer 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. jones, you havent 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. Wheter i like my room or not doesnt depend on how the furniture is arranged... Its how i arrange my mind. I already decided to love it.

Its 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 will focus on the new day and all the happy memories i have stored away... Just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account...you withdraw from what you have put in... So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. author unknown. |
