Be thankful for what we have from Life...

BE THANKFUL....

Far too many times, we let unimportant things into our minds; And then it's usually too late to see what made us blind.

Be sure that you appreciate everything you've got; And be thankful for the little things in life that mean a lot.

Marbles and Sweet Exchange

A Small Story…..

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her.

The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.

That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

Moral of the story:
If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love,your family, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully

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

Relationships are not temporary but everlasting................................

It was a busy morning, about 8:30 am., when an elderly gentleman in his 60s arrived at the hospital to have stitches removed from his thumb. He told the doctor on duty that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I was also in the hospital at that time waiting for my appointment. The doctor took the old gentleman's vital signs and had him take a seat. I saw him constantly looking at his watch .The doctor examined his wound on his thumb. It was well healed, so the doctor arranged for the removal of his sutures and redressed his wound.

I had nothing else to do and wishing to have some small talk, I asked the old gentleman about his other appointment this morning, as he seemed to be in such a hurry. The gentleman told me that he needed to go to the adjacent 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.................
