Bank Account

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.

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.

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.

Iranian Naval Threat

Today, I received an email from MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute reporting: “Iranian Website Gives Details of Iranian Navy’s Route to U.S. Coast.” You can see more about this and other news from the Middle East at MEMRI.ORG. Another story dealt with a member of the Iranian Supreme Court for Cultural Revolution calling on Iranians to conduct sabotage operations in the “Heart of Europe” and worldwide. This is more scary stuff.

 

Silence in the face of evil is itself evil.

Robert Kiyosaki

Robert Kiyosaki (author of Rich Dad Poor Dad) who was on GBTV last night, agrees with Glenn Beck that a global economic collapse is coming. He suggested that preparation for this should involve the Five G’s:

1. Gold or silver
2. Ground (or real estate with water, etc.)
3. Gasoline
4. Grub (buy food first – at least enough for 1 or 2 years)
5. Guns (when seconds count, the police are hours away)

Glenn adds God as a sixth “G".”

Today, GBTV will reveal information about The Muslim Brotherhood. They are a real threat around the world and here in the U.S.A.

Did laundry this morning then headed for the library. I love the library.

Until next time…
