Dancing In The Rain

Dancing In The Rain...

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.

"Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain."

Live... Love... and Laugh !!!

Work like you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Live like its Heaven on Earth.

- FOR OUR GIRLFRIENDS...

*************************************
(Hey ladies, this is great. Put it on your mirror so it is the first thing you see in the morning.)

FOR OUR GIRLFRIENDS.........

Someone will always be prettier.
Some will always be smarter.

Some of their houses will be bigger.
Some will drive better cars.

Their children will do better in school.
Their husbands will fix more things around the house.

So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.
Think about it!

The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
And the most highly favored woman at your job may be unable to have children.

And the richest woman you know, she's got the car, the house, the clothes....might be lonely.
And the word says, "If I have not Love, I am nothing."

So, again, love you. Love who you are.
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say, "I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed, to be disappointed!"

"Winners make things happen--Losers let things happen."

Be "blessed" ladies..... and pass this on to encourage other women.
"To the world you might be one person, but to the one person you give this to, it could mean so much."!

GIVE THIS TO YOUR FAVORITE WOMEN...I JUST DID! "

Angels DO Exist. But, sometimes, they don't have wings... We just call them Friends!"
