The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental asylum,
a visitor asked the Director how do you determine
whether or not a patient should be institutionalised.

'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub,
then
we offer a teaspoon, a teacup
and a bucket to the patient
and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.'

'Oh, I understand,' said the visitor.
'A normal person would use the bucket because
it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.'

'No' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the plug.
Do you want a bed near the window?'

Just Imagine

To have a great day you…

Don't underestimate the power of
A touch






A smile

A kind word
A listening ear






An honest compliment
Or the smallest act of caring
All of which have the potential to turn a life around





Life ends when you stop Dreaming,
Hope ends when you stop Believing,
Love ends when you stop Caring,




Friendship ends when you stop Sharing.

When you find a dream inside your heart,







Don't ever let it go,
For dreams are the tiny seeds,






From which Beautiful Tomorrows Grow!

Have a Blessed Day!
