Late for Breakfast:

It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman in his 80’s, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that 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 be 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.

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, we began to engage in conversation. I asked him if he had a doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such hurry. The gentleman told me no and that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease. As we talked and I finished dressing his wound, I asked if she would be worried 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 this 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 of people don’t necessarily have the best of
everything, they just make the best of everything that comes along their way. Peace is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank.

MAY TRUE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ALWAYS RUN FREE ON THE WIND.

HAPPY WEEKEND AND WEEK AHEAD!

To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart but of strength of mind.

DESTINY:

There comes a time in your life when you realize that,
If you stand still, you will remain at this point forever.

You realize that if you fall and stay down,
Life will pass you by.

Life's circumstances are not always,
What you might wish them to be.

The pattern of life does not,
Necessarily go as you plan.

Beyond any understanding, you may at times,
Be led in different directions that,
You never imagined, dreamt or designed.

Yet if you had never put any effort into,
Choosing your path or tried to carry out your dream,
Then perhaps you would have no direction at all.

Rather than wondering about or questioning,
The direction your life has taken,
Accept the fact that there is a path before you now.

Shake off the 'whys' and 'what ifs' and,
Rid yourself of confusion.

Whatever was-is in the past.
Whatever is-is what's important.

The past is a brief reflection.
The future is yet to be realized.
Today is here.

Walk your path one step at a time,
With courage, faith and determination.

Keep your head up and cast your dreams to the stars.
Soon your steps will become firm and your,
Footing will be solid again.

A path that you never imagined will,
Become the most comfortable direction,
You could have ever hoped to follow.

You don't call me,huh???!!!
