Here it goes:

An 88-year-old man, short, very well presented, who always take good care of his appearance is moving into an old folks’ home today.

His wife of 78 has just died and he is grateful to leave his home. After waiting in the lobby for several hours, he tenderly smiles as he was told that his bed is ready.

As he slowly walk towards the elevator, with his walking stick, one of the volunteer describe his small room to him, including the cloth hung at the window as a curtain.

“I love it so much”, he says, with the eagerness of a 9 year old kid who has just been given a new pet.

“Mr. Caine, but you haven"t even seen the room yet, just a moment, we"ll reach there soon.”

“That has nothing to do with it”, he replies, “Happiness is something I choose in advance. The furniture and décor do not determine whether I like the room or not. Rather it depends on how I decide to see it. I already decided that I like my room in my mind. It is the decision I take every morning when I wake up.” anna karenina free download free strays

He continues, “I always have a choice. I can choose spending my day in my bed enumerating all the pains and difficulties with the parts of my body, or I can get up and be grateful to god for those parts that are still in order.

Everyday is a gift and as long as I can open my eyes, I will make my new day count with all the happy memories that I have built up during my life.

Old age is like bank account. You withdraw later what you have deposited earlier.”

      Your story reminds me of a story that I heard Dr. Wayne Dyer tell of in his “The Power of Intention” program.

      I also have my own copy of “The Secret”. I do struggle with my thoughts but I am getting better at it. Things are starting to manifest for the better and I am encouraged by the progress that I have made so far.

      I hope that others are encouraged by your psots.

      This post reminds me of my experiences as a cheerful volunteer in hospitals and nursing homes. Patients stand out in my memory based on what kind of life they desired to lead. Few older patients I met in medical settings have had the view of the man in your story. However, I happily met exceptions. Yet, the sick children I met set marvelous, uplifting examples that remind all of us what we often forget. The vast majority of sick children were happy to be alive, and this showed.
