Stay Mentally Fit

I received this article from a dear friend and I thought it is good to share with you all.

~George and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, George suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.The bad news is, George hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.' Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?'

Happy Mental Health Day!

Numbers don't count when friendship is concerned

~In any case, numbers are not the important thing as friendships go. True friends – whether few or plentiful, new or old – are a balm to the soul.

I am thankful for friends who rejoice with me on happy occasions and commiserate with me in tough times. And, I should add, who aren’t really concerned about the designation on my business card.~ Soo Ewe Jin (Deputy Executive Editor - The Star Online)

I was reading the Columnist Columns at The Star.com.my online and came across a very interesting statement made by Editor Soo Ewe Jin about "friends". His statement which I reposted above have something to ponder upon, especially now that we can easily "make friends from all over the world" virtually. What do we understand by the word "my true friends"? Well, take a break fellow bloggers and start thinking. Here's wishing everyone an enjoyable day with friends.
