我可以委屈我的胃 但绝不可以委屈我的心

Each Day Is a Gift

2007-03-27 09:53:42 / 个人分类:精神鸡汤

       我们生命中的每一天都是独一无二的!今天过去了,就永远不会再拥有!所以,要把每一天都看作是上天给予我们的一份礼物,珍惜它、利用好它,让我们的每一天都与种不同!

       The 92-year-old、petite、well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, whih her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied,even though she is legally blind,moved to a nursing home taday.

      Her husband of 70 years recently passed away.making the move necessary

     After many hours of waiting patienly 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 proctded a visual descrīption of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window ."I love it,"she stated with the enthusiasn of an eight-years-old having just been presented with the  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 somehting you decide on ahead of time .Whether I like my room ro not doesn'tdepend on how the furniture is aranged 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 on longer work,or get out of bed and be thanksful 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 ."

   She went on to explain,"Old age is like a bank account,you withdraw from what you've put on .So,my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.Thank you for your part on filling my Memory Bank.I am still depositing."

    And with a smile ,she said:

     "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."
