"It's All In Your Perspective"

Yesterday I passed my buddy Phil at the psych on his way out to the smoking area. Somehow he was dragging his chair through about 4 inches of wet snow and just as I arrived he got some help from a security guard. When I complimented him on his perseverance he said "I never quit! I just keep pushing." I told him that he had more courage than most people I know. He said, "Yah maybe. Or maybe I'm just nuts." It's all in your perspective.

I was pushing an 83 year old lady around in her wheel chair today and when our trip was coming to an end I asked her where she wanted me to park her. "Just put me over there next to grandma," she said. I was about to start laughing when I realized that she wasn't trying to be funny. That's just the way she seen it. I happen to know that "grandma" is 84. It's all in your perspective.

I asked an 83 year old gentleman how he felt when he was told that he had Parkinsons disease. "Good", he said, "At least I knew what was wrong with me". When I asked the same guy if he was ever angry about it he said, "Who am I supposed to complain to? The guy upstairs? He would just tell me that I was lucky he didn't give me something worse!" It's all in your perspective.
