To The NURSES and EVERYONE at Laguna Honda

  


---I would like to dedicate this song by the Beatles to ALL the nurses at Laguna Honda. I know that this song was written by John Lennon about a relationship to a girl he may or may not have been involved with. He may have found it applicable to that situation. But, I think it applies very strongly to myself and many others at Laguna Honda, also.

---I was very self-reliant most of my life and was very able to fend for myself. The bad times were the bad times, but I seemed to survive them alright. The stroke hit me in 2002...and I had NO idea what to do. I was immediately plugged into the system and ended up at Laguna Honda.

---People have been very good to me here. I love them ALL and I really think I mean that. They have helped me...so many times in so many ways. The song fits in, in so many ways, also. I didn't think too much about what people did who couldn't do the fundamental things that I used to take for granted. Well, I learned, in spades. They get - HELP!
.
---The version of the song has expired. I, finally, added a different version in its place.  It is NOT the BEATLES, but I HOPE that it serves the purpose.

THREE WORDs THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE - Dr. Mark Holder


Three Words That Will Change Your Life
Dr. Mark Holder (5 mins)

---To see how this fits into our FIXED or GROWTH MINDSET. The three words are ‘tell me more’ or something of that sort. It shows that someone is actually listening to us and is interested enough in what we are saying to have us continue. When this happens…we automatically go from a FIXED to a GROWTH MINDSET with positive feedback from the one doing the listening. Being heard + taken seriously by someone has very positive benefits for he who is being listened to.
