.....perspective!!! That little life lesson was brought home to me on Friday. After an MD appointment at the Clarian North MOB/medical office building that is really part of the hospital I had gone to pick up a prescription and then ducked into the Atrio/restaurant to get a drink. I ran into an older gentleman from church and inquired about what brought him to the hospital, his wife Grace was a patient and will be needing surgery this week.
So, after getting my drink I trucked up to the 5th floor (my stomping ground) to visit Grace. It was perfectly lovely - she's very sweet, albeit forgetful, but, only a few months away from 90 or is it 89 - she's earned the right to be a little forgetful.
When I was leaving she thanked me - and told her husband and daughter what a 'sweet YOUNG woman' I was. So - OK....the sweet part is definitely up for debate....but I thought, YOUNG - are you kidding me?!?!?
Driving home I was still chuckling to myself about her remark - a sure sign I'm not even close to young! But then it hit me....at her age, 50 is 'young'....someone 40 years my junior would only be 10....a child, for heaven's sake!
So - the truth is true...it IS all about perspective!
