Sunday Joke!

        1.  Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research
paper I'm working on for my Psychology class.  When I asked her to
define success in her own words, she said, "Success is when you look
back at your life and the memories make you smile."
        -------------------------------
        2. Today, I asked my mentor - a very successful business man
in his 70s- what his top 3 tips are for success.  He smiled and said,
"Read something no one else is reading, think something no one else is
thinking, and do something no one else is doing."
        -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        3.   Today, after a 72 hour shift at the fire station, a woman
ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug.   When I tensed
up, she realized I didn't recognize her. She let go with tears of joy
in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said, "On 9-11-2001, you
carried me out of the World Trade Center."
        -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        4.  Today, after I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat
on the side of the road holding him and crying.  And just before he
died, he licked the tears off my face.
        -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        5.  Today at 7AM, I woke up feeling ill, but decided I needed
the money, so I went into work.   At 3PM I got laid off. On my drive
home I got a flat tire. When I went into the trunk for the spare, it
was flat too.   A man in a BMW pulled over, gave me a ride, we
chatted, and then he offered me a job. I start tomorrow.
        -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        6.  Today, as my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood
around my mother's hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent
words before she died. She simply said, "I feel so loved right now. We
should have gotten together like this more often."
        -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        7. Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in
a small hospital bed.   About 5 seconds after he passed, I realized it
was the first time I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy.
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        8. Today, in the cutest voice, my 8-year-old daughter asked me
to start recycling.  I chuckled and asked, "Why?" She replied, "So you
can help me save the planet."   I chuckled again and asked, "And why
do you want to save the planet?"  Because that's where I keep all my
stuff," she said.
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        9. Today, when I witnessed a 27-year-old breast cancer patient
laughing hysterically at her 2-year-old daughter's antics,  I suddenly
realized that I need to stop complaining about my life and start
celebrating it again.
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        10. Today, a boy in a wheelchair  saw me desperately
struggling on crutches with my broken leg and offered to carry my
backpack and books for me. He helped me all the  way across campus to
my class and as he was leaving he said, "I hope you feel better soon."
