The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully
dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and
makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a
nursing home today. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making
the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing
home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her
walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room,
including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. "I love it,"
she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented
with a new puppy.


"Mrs.. Jones, you haven't seen the room .... just wait."


"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she 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.

6.  Love, love, love!

Thanks!
I'm in Seattle, and my work is not per norm for this board.  I focus on sensual healing and exploration vs. gratification.
Feel free to check out my site, though.

Atl?
I'm not sure where that is, but my travel is most commonly for personal and professional education.

Blessed be!

Atl is the airport code for Atlanta.Nice site you have.Dont know if I need any healing but would love to meet someone with your intelect and attitude.Sweet!!

Thanks for your kind words.

FYI, although much of my work is tailored for individuals who have disassociation, sexual dysfunction, previous trauma...
us healers usually love providing intense R&R, sensual exploration, and good old-fashioned unconditional love!

Touch is healing.

Feel free to let me know if you're ever in my neck of the country.

In Love and Light,
Devie
