Editor’s Note:
I read this article and
immediately thought of Bro. Leburn Pelham, who recently passed away at
the age of 87. Every time I
saw Bro. Pelham he had a smile on his face and a warm hello on his lips. LP
Bank Account
A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and
proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his
hair fashionably coifed 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.
