True Story

Tuesday, at our Eastside Art group, I mentioned this story, they thought it was funny and suggested I share it on the blog.

I had a second appointment with my elderly, grouchy doctor at Sand Canyon Hospital. Not a bad guy, a great doctor in his field. He just doesn't talk much and I had never seen him smile. 

He had his nurse in with us and during the procedure, he said, "I think you have good jeans." I looked down and I was wearing jeans, so I thought, but did not say: "what's he doing looking at my jeans?" I looked at him and he looked at me, puzzled, then he actually broke into a smile! He said, "You 84 and you don't take medicine, I think you have good genes." Then he laughed, the nurse and I laughed too. I said, "Yes, I don't like medicine." He was still laughing when he left the room and after the nurse said, "I've never seen him laugh before, ever!" 

A powerful example of how one young heart can make a difference.

I kept nagging, I am not called a "rock-head" for nothing.

Finally I caught ...

Painted Sandgrouse

The Painted Sandgrouse carries water in its feathers to feed its chicks.

In the dry plains and scrublands of the Indian subcontinent, the Painted Sandgrouse moves across dusty ground with quiet purpose. It feeds on seeds and grains, blending perfectly into the earth with its intricate patterns. But when raising young, the male performs something remarkable — flying long distances to water, then soaking his specialized belly feathers to transport moisture back to the nest. What makes it extraordinary is this living canteen — bringing life-saving water across arid landscapes where none exists nearby. A master of survival in harsh lands, yet a devoted provider of the desert.
