Words to live by

I don't know if this a true story but it sure rings true.

A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fullyDressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably Coifed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, movedTo a nursing home today.His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the moveNecessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursingHome, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visualDescription of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that hadBeen hung on his window."I love it," he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-oldHaving just been presented with a new puppy."Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait.""That doesn't have anything to do with it," he replied."Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I likeMy room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged...It’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it."It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have aChoice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have With the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on theNew day and all the happy memories I've stored away. Just for this Time in my life.Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in.So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in theBank account of memories! Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank.I am still depositing." Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

This little guy is trying to pull a fast one on teacher Troy you get an A for silly and D for family description, all we want is ten sentences bro.

here is a shot from out side my work cool pretty .

Check out the view

This was taken from the roof of my building. The picture doesn’t real do it justice it was a little hazy so the pic didn’t come out that great. The pollution is pretty bad here there just so many people here in such a small space every one lives in this high rise apt that stretch out as far as the eye can see. On a clear night the view is incredible. I live in a suburb of soel called suji and I think it is just about the best place for me I have every thing I need and I don’t have all the drama of the big city.

Well I made it to Korea!

It took with layovers about 17 hours. It was a little rough the first week but I hit the ground running. They were in dire straights and the staff seemed truly grateful to see me apparently they lost 2 instructors and one teacher had some health problems, so when I got here they were all over worked and a little stressed. So with one day of observation I am now a teacher I was a little worried about my job performance but with a little thought it is easy now I am trying not to over work these little kids they go to school like 12 hours a day so when they get restless after 8 o’clock I understand. Apparently Korean girls like me, at least the eight year old ones do. Yesterday I was informed by one of my students that teacher is cute. Sweet she gets an A.
