Prestige Auto Sales "Thought for the day"

I still know who She is!
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On examining it I saw it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors and got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the 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! As she is 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 h ad 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. Peace is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have. I hope you share this with someone you care about, I just did. Life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain. The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called The Almighty God, you will make it to a place called Success. Pass it on to ten people whom you want to see blessed. Don't forget to send it back to the one who sent it to you.

You have to go through the falling down in order to learn to walk. It helps to know that you can survive it. That's an education in itself. -- Carol Burnett

Prestige Auto Sales "Thought for the day"

There isn’t a person anywhere who isn’t capable of doing more than he thinks he can.


A child was the inspiration behind the Polaroid instant camera: she was the inventor’s there-year-old daughter. Dr. Edwin H. Land tells it this way: “I recall a sunny day in Santa Fe when my little daughter asked why she could not at one the picture I had just taken of her. As I walked around the charming town, I undertook the tasks of solving the puzzle she had set. Within an hour, the camera, the film and the physical chemistry because so clear to me.” Land founded the Polaroid Corporation in 1937 and headed it until 1982.There is nothing in life that you can't accomplish, if you put your mind to it.
