though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.
Her husband of 95 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After hours of waiting
patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when I told her the room was ready.
As she walked slowly to the lift, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets
that had been hung on her window. "I love it," she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just
been presented with a new puppy (小狗).
"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room... just wait."
"That doesn't matter," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide 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 have already
decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. 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." She went on to explain,
"Old age is like a bank account. You take what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot
of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my memory bank." And
with a smile, she said, "All my memories are happy ones."
Mrs. Jones was always happy in the nursing home and she died at the age of 108.
