My name is Margaret. I have been a professional      for twenty years. I’m always      how sorrow and pain can bring such wonderful gifts as wisdom, patience and love.   , we often get so caught up in the daily necessities and routines that we      the very things that can bring us    and teach us many valuable lessons.
I was hired to      a very special lady. I was to prepare meals for her, make sure she took her medicine     , do light housekeeping, and provide transportation to and from the market and her doctor’s appointments. All of these      were important and necessary so that she could remain     . Our focus was just that -    her to remain living independently.
It was on a cold rainy night. She turned her little head and smelt her
pillow after she had      got into bed. I observed tears running from her eyes. She said, “It’s been such a long time since I’ve had      sheets; I love the      of fresh clean sheets. I couldn’t      the sheets myself anymore. Thank you so much for changing my sheets. ”
Such a simple      as smelling clean sheets brought such great joy to her life. That was the day I      unconditional care. The next day we sat down and      what was important to her, what she liked, and how she had done things all these years. I never knew how much I would enjoy and learn from her      her life experiences with me. She was the sunshine in my life.
I’m so      for the lessons I have learned - the lessons I almost     because I forgot to slow down to look and see the beauty that was right in front of me.

In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   36  with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   37 . The only solution is to reach   38  and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   39  measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   40 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   41 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   42 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   43 . The only direct and honest comparison is   44  yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only   45  to compare yourself to someone else if their life  46  is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   47 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   48  someone is coming up fast   49  you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   50 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   51  you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who   52  if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   53 . You are a more   54  person today than you were yesterday. Your own   55  is all you need.

One publication caught my   49 , a magazine I liked best and had   50   to ages ago. I couldn't tell you the last time when I'd read an issue. I   51  it up and I started right in with the letters to the   52  .
"I love  53  my copy every month," the first letter began. The author mentioned a daughter who  54   in Clinton, Pennsylvania. Huh, that's funny. I thought. That's my town! I read the letter to the end, where my   55  fell upon the author's signature:
"Thank you, Margie and Tom Parrish, Westlake, Louisiana"
Alone? Hardly. Margie and Tom-or as I call them, Mom and Dad-were right beside me,even now.
