Dear peeps, i came across this scene and thought i should share my thoughts with you ...
I watched a young boy furiously pedal his new red trike between two elderly ladies carrying their supermarket bags.
The first scolded him loudly for not looking where he was going and having no consideration.
The other, making her way with the help of a cane, gently chided her friend, remarking that he was only a young boy with a lot of energy who was still learning his manners.
"THE GRUMPY & THE GRATEFUL
It is my observation that senior citizens can be broadly categorised into 2 groups.
Those that are grumpy, and these who are grateful.
I believe that life's inevitable disappointments, broken hearts and lost dreams will, if you allow them, make you bitter, resentful and angry. Somewhere in our life's journey we choose to focus on the garbage or the gold.
If you dwell on the garbage we become grumpy. If we look at the gold we become grateful.
Life is crap. Life is beautiful. Life is both. The question is, which will you focus on?
At some point, conscious or not, you will choose the experiences of life to make you bitter or better, grumpy or grateful, snappy or happy!
Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, who did extensive work with the terminally ill, said:"The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. Remember, beautiful people do not just happen."
So my dear friends no matter what happens in life ... always look on the bright side :)
