Something we should all REMEMBER!!

This is AWESOME....something we should all remember.


A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.

As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window.

'I love it,' he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

'Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait.'

'That doesn't have anything to do with it,' he 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 still work.

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.

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!

Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing.

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.

Have a nice day, unless you already have other plans.



At times I may feel down, be in a funk, not like something, wanna deal with the stress in my life, even be missing a few things and people in my life, but that is life...its what you do with all it all that defines you!! I am not perfect haha ver very very far from it, I swear by spell check , I make mistakes, I fuck up , and I have my share of arguments and fights with family and friends...but in the past 5 years what I have learned about myself is that we all have a choice..and in life we all have to make decisions.. good or bad we have to make them and then deal with the consequences later on..its life..those are those life lessons we live and learn from! You have 2 choices one you can either except the things that you are dealt with .. or two dwell on the shit you wished you had or are missing!

No one could show me how to deal with fear, judgment , rejection, or even the loss I have encountered the past few years... I had to learn how to deal with it all on my own! Do I have regrets?? Ummm I think in life we all have a few, but those regrets aren't holding me back from living my life they are really pushing me forward to see how far I can fly! I am happy now .. the happiest I have been in a long time! I have friends who for the first time ever I can count on, I have my family who is a pain in the ass but hahaha they are my family and really all I have, I am on a path that I am loving at the moment, but most of all I am free to do what I want to do ... nothing is holding me back or down and that is the greatest feeling in the world! Its my choice to smile every day and be happy and I have made that choice to do so because life is just to damn shit!!!!!
