I was at a meeting the other day where I was reminded of a powerful life lesson.
One of the other ladies on this committee has been absent because her mother has been diagnosed with cancer.
She related how one day in the hospital she was feeling rather numb and getting into the elevator she accidentally pressed the wrong floor button.
The doors ended up opening onto the terminal cancer ward - for children!
She said she was struck by how calm and at peace these parents were. The acceptance in their childs fate and the desire to make the most of the remaining time.
She now makes it a point to visit that floor regularily.
Interesting. What are you upset at right now? If the parents of a dying child can project peace… can you get over being stuck in a traffic jam?
It is in the end that we remember how we should have been in the beginning.

That the world can work a whole lot better than it is right now. Ya, it’s pretty good but there are some pretty stupid ideas out there. So, this blog is all about promoting the good, while demoting and exposing the bad. Mind you, it’s still only my opinion so feel free to disagree. Leave your comments and let’s start a dialogue.
