Quote of the Week, Part 1
A lot of times, the quotes I like to write about are philosophical and I need to process them through writing. Sometimes, they inspire me spiritually and I want to share them. And other times, they just make me laugh.
Today, the quotes were overheard in an anonymous hospital waiting room in Birmingham. Please note, I was “not droppin’ no eaves” as Frodo’s friend Samwise might say. The waiting room was small and the voices were loud. No attempt was made to conceal these words…
“Begin your independence with a Quickie powerchair!” A few minutes after I noticed this charge on a box of pamphlets in the corner, I heard a 60-year-old-man say, with an air of stubbornness, “The older I get, the more independent I am.” I wonder if he has any idea what he’s missing out on without a Quickie powerchair. His life could be transformed!
Signs always amuse me–not just the ones on churches. This sign was a typical list of rules for a hospital waiting room. But one rule in particular made me wonder why it was there: ”No lounging furniture, appliance, or coolers may be brought into the hospital.” I mean, who doesn’t have their pool chair or recliner in the trunk of the car for occasions such as these!?
