A doctor gave a 92-year-old man a physical exam. A few days later
he happened to notice the man walking down the street with his arm around a gorgeous young
woman and grinning from ear to ear.
The next time he encountered the man, the doctor said, "You
are really doing great, aren’t you?"
"Just doing what you said, Doc," the man agreed.
"You said, ‘Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.’"
"I didn’t say that," replied the doctor.
"I said you got a heart murmur. And be careful."
I wonder if the advice to be cheerful may actually do him
more good than to be careful! There is no shortage of self-help books and articles about
taking care of yourself physically -- from watching your diet to getting proper exercise.
In other words, "Be careful!" But just as necessary is learning how to care for
your mind and spirit. And cultivating a cheerful attitude can be an important part of the
treatment.
Do you tend to focus on what is wrong with your life, or
what is right? Are you known as an angry person, or are you known more for being up-beat
and positive? Today
you can be careful. But will you be cheerful?
