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.    
Pass this message to 7 people except me. You will receive a miracle tomorrow.   
 
Now, STOP! Did you hear what I just said. You WILL receive a miracle   
Tomorrow. So send it right now!    
Have a nice day, unless you already have other plans.
