Got another email from Magen that I thought I'd share...
THIS IS WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT!
It was a busy morning and at approximately 8:30, an elderly gentleman in his 80s, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that 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 exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
I inquired about her health and he told me that she had been there for a while and that she was 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 had 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 arms, 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.
With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there are some that come along that have an important message, and this is one of those kind.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
Please share this with the people you care about.

I got this in an email from Magen the other day... just thought I'd share with you guys...
Never Argue with a Woman
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing
and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake,
the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short
distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside
the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could
start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,"
says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know
you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can
also think.

Hey guys! Since I haven't wrote anything in forever, I figured I could at least get on here and write a lil something. Everything's been going great! I've been working an awful lot... but I'm making good money... so it's all ok.
Summer's been awesome, so far. Granted, I haven't really done much of anything... but it's going by pretty slow, and I really enjoy that! It's just now the beginning of June... it feels like I've been outta school for a while... so maybe it'll be forever til August gets here, lol. Probably not... but that's ok too, cause I really miss seeing all my friends from Kilgore. Even though lots of my really close friends are not returning this semester, there's still a few that are... and we're gonna make it an awesome year! I've got to get done with Kilgore this year!! It's my new goal... lol. (It should have been my goal last year... but oh well.) The fall semester is gonna be kind of a "Kristi, get your act together" semester... but if I work my butt off in the Spring and Summer, I should be done... and able to move on to "bigger and better" things. College has been really tough for me. I went from never having to do homework, and everything coming easy to me in High School... to having to study for every little thing, and having to work my butt off to make a B in class. (I have yet to make an A in an academic class.)
I've done A LOT of thinking lately... It's time for me to "grow up." Yeah, yeah... "I'm grown," right?!? That's what kids say whenever they graduate from High School. Yeah right! I was far from grown! I'm soon going to be 20... not a teenager anymore...
... and I still have no idea what in the world I want to do the rest of my life. In the past, I've just been giving up. This past year was pretty much a waste of my time and money. I completed an entire semester at KC while I was still a Senior in High School... and this past year, I didn't even have a combined total of 12 hours. What was I thinking?!? I'll tell ya... I wasn't! I let things get in the way of school. Granted, I work... and there are many times that my job "gets in the way" of school... but then there's other times that I used the "work" excuse... and really shouldn't have. I've also let guys get in the way... bad mistake! It's ok to have a relationship while in school... don't get me wrong... but whenever you put off school (that you're paying for) just to "hang out" with a guy every single minute of every day... it's a waste! School should be at the top of my list... but for the past year and a half... it definately hasn't. It would be totally cool if I was chillin' with a guy (boyfriend) and he would be helping with homework, or helping me study... and then do whatever after the school mess was done... but I've had a big problem with that in the past. I'm not going to let that get in the way this year... I'm gonna find a way to manage school, work, band, and even be able to hang and have fun with the boyfriend. It's gonna happen!! Anyways... this is getting kinda long... and I believe I'm done with my ramblings for the night. Hope everyone had a great weekend! Buhbye!
