lovely souls

It's just so wonderful what kind and warm souls can do to you.
Lovely people can so so much to make your day!
Am feeling all jolly and smiley and giggly, perhaps it's because it's spring, a season to be chirpy and cheerful and joyful, with the lovely blooming flowers, beautiful tulips, squirrels running here and there. ahhh :) :)

Or is it just because simple things that people do that can make your day. A sweet smile from a stranger on the road, a beautiful 'Assalamualaikum' from a random sister you meet on the way to class, or in my case, a lovely and sweeeet patient or make it THREE lovely-and-sweet patients.. :) :)

Recalling the interview I had with one patient, who is about 80-years-old and just had a knee replacement; she was feeling a bit sad since she can't really get out to enjoy the spring days like she used to, she can't really see how the flowers bloom red and blue and purple, and had to resort tolooking at beautiful pictures of flower farms in the newspapers.
But yes, she's still going strong. She's all high-spirited. And when she does feel a little bit down, she said she could just feel her late husband 'sitting' on her shoulder cheering for her to :"come on, get up, don't lose faith, and it's not you to be so down". which I think is really sweet. She's going strong despite living alone and facing certain things on her own i.e. the knee surgery.

And a few other patients just made my day. Their ever so willingness to help these annoying
medical students who would ask them questions after questions, but oh, well, they seem to enjoy our company and having someone to talk to. :) :)

OK, esok nak pergi jumpa patient lagi! wish me luck!
