| “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” — Albert Einstein |

 “I work with a lady from India. Sometimes, its hard for her to socialize with the others at work because of her strong accent. Last week, she was sitting all alone in the Living Room, while the others were involved in a Christmas activity. I asked her if she would like to join the others and she said no. I asked her why, she said “I can’t do what they are doing.” I told her sure you can. So I took her over – they were putting Christmas stickers on clothes pins. I gave her some clothes pins and stickers and we began doing what the others were doing. When she did just one, I gave her praise after praise. All she could do was smile. And the most amazing thing to me was what she said that melted my heart. She said, “Thank you dear. You make me feel like a little kid, in school again, God bless you.” At that point she took my hand and kissed it. I was over joyed!!! I left her to finish and when I walk ed away, I could feel the calmness all around me. I made a difference in her life that day.” — PassionateM3
