The 92-year-old, thin, calm and proud lady,who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, even though she is nearlyblind, moved to a nursing home today.

Her husband of 70 years recently passedaway, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in thehall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.

As she walked slowly to lift, I provided atrue description of her tiny room, including the old sheets(床单) that had been hung on herwindow. “I love it.” She said with the happiness.

“Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room….Just wait..”  “That doesn’t matter.” She replied. “ Happiness is somethingyou decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on howthe furniture is arranged. It is how I arrange my mind, I have already decidedto lobe it. It is a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is agift, and as long as my eyes open I will focus on the new day and all the happymemories I’ve stored away.” She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bankaccount(帐户). Youput what you have in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot ofhappiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in fillingmy memory bank.” And with a smile, she said, “All my memories are happy ones.”

Mr. Jones was always happy in the nursinghome and she died at the age of 108.
