I've been having a hard time lately. Working, working, and working. Going to school. Needing to study but not being able to concentrate very well. Feeling like I'm neglecting my relationship with my husband and kids. It seemed to be coming to a head (or something like that) when today, I got this email that made me laugh and put things back into perspective. It made me laugh and I hope you enjoy it too.

LOVE IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
LOVE
Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.
When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged; since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays that you have a sound mind. The bad news is, Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND HANG IN THERE
