A Pill Of Happiness, No Prescription Needed Elita Sohmer Clayman

I had to call Verizon again because something was wrong with my email system. Someone sent me a picture and it got caught in there and jammed everything up. So I called them and of course, got someone who was very competent and was extremely polite, as always from them. In the middle of fixing it, he said “I want to ask you a question.” I said OK wondering if something bad was really wrong with the computer. He said “how is your day today Mrs. Clayman?” That was so nice and made me feel so important. I realize that they must have a booklet of things to say to the customers or clients as we are called; but it was downright sweet. I told him my day was even nicer, since he asked and how was his day. He was located in India.

My husband is a pharmacist and we had our own pharmacy for twenty-three years. We were always pleasant and kind to our customers and even if they bought a postage stamp for the stated amount, we always said thank you.

Now days some say it to you with a purchase and others say have a nice day, which is adequate, but thanks never hurts to hear.

We should always value our days, someday I do not, I admit, but after seeing this video on the computer about a young man named Nick Vujicic who was born without arms or legs, I think he took a pill of happiness, because he survives with a smile in all that he does without. He is now a motivational speaker and talks about his disability, as if it is not one. He says that life is an opportunity and he says there is nothing he cannot do. He has a phenomenal passion for life and he achieves more than most people with their limbs. He is from Australia and he says his eyes are his limbs. He calls himself “no limbs to no limits.” He uses his eyes as windows to his soul.

What a soul he has, he is a handsome fellow and recently married a lovely looking woman.

When you watch this video, you want to cry at first and then when it is over, you want to applaud this personable, dear, young and wonderful person. He has a passion to live and said he was made fun of when in school, but he overcame it and is the vibrant human he is.

I know a young person who named her daughter Nevaeh. It is heaven spelled backwards and is quite a sweet name.

Nick has heaven in his beautiful eyes and what he has lost in his physical being, he has surely made up for in his attitude of not asking why he is like this, but he has insured that his life without the necessary limbs we all take for granted, has not shut down the life he has. He says his eyes are the windows to his and our soul; he certainly was given the most elaborate soul one can have because he has accepted his limits and says disabled means it is something that stops you from doing thngs and there is nothing he cannot do.

He is to be looked up to and whenever, you or I feel dissatisfied with our day and how it is going, look at this video on the computer and feel blessed with what you and I have in our physical being and our mental thoughts. Let us realize as he said that life is an opportunity and have his phenomenal passion for our life, regardless of what age we are now, young, middle age, senior and even a senior plus.

Have the joy in your eyes as he says and dream big and take our pill of happiness each and every day, no prescription is needed to get it.

Nick is twenty-nine and when he married this year, his bride put the wedding band around his neck with a chain. The video is on You Tube.

As the Verizon technician said to me how my day was, let us think that each and every day is about looking forward to it being great and let us be like Nick and have his passion for living.
