The Window...NOT FROM MICROSFT...

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man

Was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help

drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and

families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military

service,

where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would

pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could

see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those

one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by

all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on

the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked

arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline

could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on

the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the

picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn't hear the ban

d - he could see it. In his

mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with

descriptive words. Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived

to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man

by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and

called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be

moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after

making sure he was comfortable, she left Him alone. Slowly, painfully, he

propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world

outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who

had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse

responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She

said,"Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

Epilogue: There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our

own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared,

is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money

can't buy.

"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."
