BANK ACCOUNT!!!

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.
