Go ahead & follow your dreams.
Focus on the things you enjoy & which make you happy.
Life is too short to do otherwise.”

During one of those seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, “How do I know if I married the right person?” In all seriousness, she answered, “How do you know?”
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, “It depends. Is that your husband? In all seriousness, she answered, “How do you know?”

On the last day before Christmas, I hurried to go to the supermarket to buy the remaining of the gifts I didn’t manage to buy earlier. When I saw all the people there, I started to complain to myself, “It is going to take forever here & I still have so many other places to go.”
Christmas really is getting more & more annoying every year. How I wish I could just lie down, go to sleep & only wake up after it. Nonetheless, I made my way to the toy section, & there I started to curse the prices, wondering if after all, kids really play with such expensive toys.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

Babs Miller was bagging some early potatoes for me. I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily appraising a basket of freshly picked green peas.
I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering the peas, I couldn’t help overhearing the conversation between Mr Miller and the ragged boy next to me.
