Before i start off with this. I went to my internist yesterday and while i was sitting in the waiting room with my wife sitting beside me for my regular two month check up, the receptionist calls me over to the window and asks me to fill out a form. She says that it will be done once a year as is the general practice of all the patients in his practice starting from now on.
Okay i took the form to be filled out and started reading it. There was a list of eight things that needed to be checked off with either a yes or no. As i continued to read it I noticed that all of these questions stated that i feel like i was depressed in the last three months that i should check off the yes. Another question was have i ever felt worthless in the last three months, and still another asked me if i have ever felt like the world is closing me in, and so forth for the remaining questions. You know what? I just couldn't resist as my wife looked on... I actually crossed out both yes and no. At the end of this "quiz" i wrote a note on the bottom of this form. In bold letters it said "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" and signed it on the bottom even though that form had asked me to print and sign that form on the top portion which i did as well. As i went to the counter and handed it in the receptionist closed the window behind me and about ten seconds later i heard uncontrollable laughter from behind the window. On my way out i had to check out and as i passed by them i told them that the only time that i *may *have been depressed is when i broke my neck but since i was in a coma i wouldn't know if i was depressed or not until i woke up more then a week later. And i further mentioned, does this count because this was more then three months but rather about three years ago ago and i asked all of them again "does this count"? Then remained absolutely motionless and didn't say a word... So anyway i thought about it and decided to write my Thought of the day. You must realize that when you smile the world smiles with you and for those that do not smile well they should fill out out the form that the receptionist gave me... Comes next year do you think that they will remember me? You bet they will. Thought of the day..... I want to express my idea on perspective. Everyday we make decisions, in our thoughts with our actions and the way we handle circumstances in our everyday interaction with people we meet. Remember this , EVERYONE IS UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAY.....The way we look, talk, dress, our beliefs, how we treat others, family, friends and even total strangers. Some people we meet are battling thoughts in their heads, sickness, stress, anger, anxiety, fear, depression, regret, remorse, addiction, hopelessness. The list can go on and on. Before you judge the people in your life, take a moment and try to put yourself into their perspective. The world is full of good and bad people, some think the world owes them, they are angry, bitter and downright mean and dis-respectful. Don't let these people bring you down, just smile and keep moving on. Some people are just having a bad day, a simple smile or kind gesture can go a long way to changing an attitude. Today be the good person, don't let the daily struggles in life get the best of you. Be strong, be confident and live life to the fullest! Show the world your good side everyday! Life can be hard or it can be easy. It is all in the perspective. Have an AWESOME day, i do! 🌹 18's, Marty -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
