Wel, again its somethin i read and thought it would be nice to share! :)
It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 a.m., when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.
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 look at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On examination, I found 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, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
I then inquired as to her health. 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 arm, 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.

Police Uncle! and lots more which actually makes no sense at al :P
Wel the cops are people I'm really afraid of, people fear many things - reptiles, heights, cats, water, other people, and sooo many other things but me, as weird as i am, fearingpoliceissmartaphoiba( Fear of the "cops") (Source: http://www.unusualphobias.com/police.html )
Wel they are people who fascinate me and scare me at a time, they work on the roads al they(traffic police), and they keep catching people who break the law ad they stand there on the signal with their walki-talkie's in one hand and a cellphone in another(There must a law wher the public can take fine from the cops if we see them talkin on the cellphone!!). Wel coming back, the stuff they wear with radium(yea, that glow in the dark thingi) al over and the small sticks they hav which light up either green or red at the press of the button(donno wat u cal em, wil hav to look it up). The thing that fascinates me the most about them are the walkie talkies. I always wonder wat they use that for, i assume they use it to tel the other poilce man ki i've given em a green, traffic comin ur side, but again this is what normal people would say when u ask em wat the cops use the walkie talkies for, but my crooked mind as usual runs in one crooked direction and i've come up with a number of things the cops can actually do with the walkie-talkies they posses. (I actually choose to believe that some of the following are true,eventhough they are not, jus for the fun of it!! :) )
1. They could convert it into a cell-phone which has no bills and talk to everyone they wanted to all day( standing on the road and doin it would be irritating though).
2. They could use them to talk to aliens from a far off land called zuzu land and the residents of zulu land are called zullus.
*The walki-talki bit ends there and, God knows wat starts*
3. Or better, the cops are actually aliens from zulu land and they are here on earth to study the behavioral patterns of homo-sepians because they are actually goin to invade planet earth and live here and send us al to the Saturn rings.
4. They are actually the cartoons from cartoon network and since cartoon network is downsizing they have al become cops to earn an income.
5. They love waving their hands and showing their palm to others. (They do that when they ask u to stop!)
6. They love the melodious sond of cars and bikes honking away to glory for no reason at al.
7. They keep their word, i.e. when they were little kids they would have asspired to become cops cuz they get to keep a gun and its fun to fire a gun.( I don't think traffic police has guns rite?)
8. Its one of the easiest ways to see celebrities, at signal i mean, everyone travells on the road after all and sooner or later they hav to face a red signal.
*if ur still reading, either ur totally jobless or ur one of the many people i've sent the link to so that u tel u me how the post it*
9. They hate shooping, they hav to wear the same clothes everyday rite?
10. They like tanned skin.
11. They don't like to blog. (They won't hav the time to.)
*If u've realised that this post makes absolutly no sense, then ur not a big genius, its obvious.*
*If ur still readin, thank u :) , ur my true friend*

Let us take this home with us today & live it every day
Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage?
His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.
He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm. We, too, are never alone. Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him. If you liked this story, pass it on. If not, you took off your blindfold before dawn.
Moral of the story:

The Things That Matter
One more of my Editorials.
Today, life has become a race. Everyone is running and running to win. Yes, it's a good thing, but are we losing out on - or should I say, completely forgetting - the things that really matter ?
How long is it since you
* saw a flower with dew drops on it,
* enjoyed the rain (without cribbing about your clothes
getting dirty),
* helped someone cross the road,
* sat down and actually enjoyed your cup of Coffee without
hurriedly gulping it down,
* sat down with someone and talked and laughed about
nothing.
...How long?
Are we really running the race of life, are we just losing out on things? On memories that really matter? Is it worth it? Think about it...
Take a break, I am not saying don’t run in the race of life.... just take some time off, sometime to enjoy the company of yourself, sometime to enjoy the miracles of nature, sometime to talk to your friends about nothing, sometime to just not worry about tomorrow and live today fully so you’ll have memories for a life time. Take sometime off …. Its worth it.
Don’t run through life.
Listen to the music of life before the song is over.

Love - A Misconception??
OK, People who read what I write for Stellidoscope would have read this but, i stil wanted to put this up in my blog cuz, i really like this editorial and its read close to my heart. :)
Love.This four-letter word is of utmost importance in a teenage girl's vocabulary. What does this word actually mean?
Some would associate it with a fuzzy feeling in the stomach, some others would say sleepless nights, smiling all day, acting weird (in a nice way), eating way too many chocolates, taking an extra half hour to get dressed, keeping your mobile in your hand all day waiting for an SMS from that special someone. I ask you, ‘Is this what love is?' And I bet you would say ‘Yes, Isn’t it obvious?’ To all you people I would ask one more question. ‘Do you love your parents?’ And I bet all of you would say ‘Excuse me? Yes, of course’. Again I ask, ‘Do you get a fuzzy feeling in your stomach when you see your parents, do you hold your phone in your hand all day waiting for them to call?’ You would go ‘Of course not’. Then I ask you again, ‘Do you love your parents?’ Confusion. Silence. No answer.
Okay now I’ll tell you something. Love is nothing but a choice to be happy, a choice to smile all day, a choice to care for someone. To put it in simple terms, I would say, ‘Love is Caring’.
To show our love, we must care. It's simple logic – to show your neighbor dog that you love him, take him for a walk – to show the old lady you care about her, gift her a blanket that will keep her warm on cold nights. Do anything. Do something. The world is starving for love.
They say to be loved,one must love unconditionally. Start. Do something in your own little corner. Learn to care. And if everyone does the same, there will be a change. Not only in your house, or in your country, but in the whole wide world!
Be the change you want to see. Learn to care. :)

This does not have a title!
Well since i have a little starting problem, m gonna steal one quote from Cavin and Hobbes( the two people who i unconditionally love[it should be one person - Bill Watterson, actually cuz he created Calvin and hobbes] but i like calvin, the character more)
The more you think about things, the weirder they seem. Take milk for example. Why do we drink COW milk? Who was the guy who first looked at a cow and said. I think I’ll drink whatever comes out of these things when I squeeze ‘em!
Wel its actually so true, the more you think about things the more they get complicated. You would have seen that age old mail message
1=5
2=4
3=9
4=16
5=??
Most of em would go 25, but its actually 1(read the first line). I mean the world has become a race track and all of us are running, the brain is working 27*7(not that i say its bad) but we must remember to take a break, live light. The most simple of things are being questioned by our minds.
Someone has told some nice things about you, you start to manipulate... "what does he/she want from me, how come he is suddenly appreciating my work, something is fishy here, maybe he just want me to fly for a while and meantime he'l get the better out of me and run forward..n blah n blah..." why don't we ever think, "Maybe I'm good(modesty is in its place, but take credit for what you deserve, do it gracefully, say thank you! :)), maybe he sincerely though something i did was worth a mention or something like that???"
Think a little less, cuz if you think tooo much then you are just complicating things, imagining them and then getting worried about nothing at all. I'm not saying that you must not think, think but just don't get so obsessed about things that you lose touch with simple things in life.
Get wet in the rain without thinking about the cold you're gonna catch, eat whateva you want to without thinkin bout the calories it contains, do really stupid stuff like laughing for no reason, do things that make you happy, do things just because they make you happy.
Yes, life is a race and if you want to win, you have to run fast, but don't forget it is a long race and you do need to stop to have your glucose or your gonna faint and fall for sure!!
Don't forget, getting to the destination is very important but the experiences you have in the journey are lessons in life you will never forget.
