What a joy it is to be alive. What an extraordinary opportunity it is to be aware and able to interact with all that surrounds you.
How wonderful it can be to feel weary after a fulfilling day's work. What a blessing it is to awaken to the unique possibilities of a new day.

It is such a delight to discover something new and interesting. It is so fulfilling to make a difference in the lives of others.

For every single difficulty there are a hundred blessings. How sweet it can be when you open your eyes to them all.

What a special experience it is to create something valuable and original. How enriching it can be to see the beauty that is in the magnificent vistas as well as the small details.

Certainly life has its difficulties. Yet even the difficulties help to make the overwhelming goodness of life that much more worth living.

-- Ralph Marston

A quote from Victor Frankl:
"We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement. When we are no longer able to change a situation--just think of an incurable disease such as inoperable cancer--we are challenged to change ourselves."

Precious Gifts
Author Unknown

Yesterday a butterfly
Came floating gently through the sky.
He soared up through the atmosphere
Then drifted close enough to hear.

I said, "I'd love to fly with you
And sail around the way you do.
It looks like it would be such fun
To fly up toward the summer sun.

But I have not your graceful charm.
I haven't wings, just these two arms.
I've been designed to walk around.
My human feet must touch the ground.

Then magically he spoke to me
and told me what his wish would be.

He said, "What I'd love most to do
Is walk upon God's Earth with you,
To squish its mud between my toes
Or touch my finger to my nose.

I'd love just once to walk around
With human feet to touch the ground,
But I have not two legs that swing,
I haven't arms, just these two wings."

And so we went our separate ways
In wonder and surprise.
For we'd both seen God's precious gifts
Through someone else's eyes.

It was a busy morning, about 8:30 , when an Elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am .

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and
decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.

On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought,
'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

I will give myself time to relax
I will first listen to all the facts
I will trust to a certain extent
I will not let my mind invent
I will achieve my own possible goals
I will not take on too many roles
I will love with complete passion
I will be open-minded with others fashion
I will not be judgmental by any cause
I will know to respect certain laws
I will always comfort a friend in need
I will start taking more of a lead
I will take chances worth taking
I will sometimes be breathtaking
I will be beautiful inside
I will choose with whom I confide
I will be strong and independent
I will always be confident
I will cry when I need to be sad
I will every once in a while get mad
I will have respect for everyone around me
I will choose who I am going to be
I will always open my eyes so I can see
I will not fail because I choose to succeed
