Fran & Marlo Cowan (married 62 years in 2008 when this was taken) playing impromptu recital together in the atrium of the Mayo Clinic. That piano captures just one part of what makes the Mayo Clinic so remarkable. It’s a place where people come not only to be healed and made whole physically, but spiritually as well. Around that piano we come together as an ad hoc family — a community of people on different, but similar journeys – to heal together and share what brings us hope and joy.
It’s all in your attitude!

Oh Sandee, that video made me smile some kind of big this morning. They were just terrific. There was a piano in the Cancer center where I went and every once in a while someone would play which was great. Thanks Sandee. Sandee, you and Zane, you have a most wonderful day.
I got the biggest kick out of this Marg. Married 62 years and they looked so happy. 🙂
I have seen this and adore it. I hope that is what my husband and I look like after 62 years married. Although neither of us play piano very well, but busting a move (much to our children's chagrin) is something we can do 🙂
Yes, but you'll be doing happy things like this couple. That's what counts. 🙂
love this- thanks Sandee!
You're welcome Kathe. 🙂
I love this. Thanks for sharing!
I did too Michelle. You're most welcome. 🙂
What a truly lovely place in many ways.
A place of hope indeed. 🙂
Loved the piano switching.
Me too and when she lost her balance and landed on the bench. She took it in stride. 🙂
Melody mixed with action.
Have a fabulous day!
Not bad for an old couple either. 🙂
What a great video, Sandee, I laughed heartily! What fun! Those two are great and bring so much joy and laughter! It is indeed all in the attitude! Hope you are having a great week, dear friend. 🙂
I thought so too Linda. I hope hubby and I are always that happy.
I'm having a great week Linda. Thank you. 🙂
So wonderful! I love seeing people having fun and spreading joy!
Me too and that's why I posted this. Too much political talk going on. 🙂
What a great way to enjoy your day. Thanks Sandee. You made me smile a great deal my friend. Have a wonderful Thursday Sandee & Zane.

You're most welcome Paul. You have a wonderful day too. 🙂
Everything begins with attitude.
Hence my favorite quote:
"A positive attitude may not solve all of you problems, but it will irritate enough people to make it worthwhile."
~ Herm Albright
I love your quote and it's so very true. Live by that all the time. 🙂
Yes, so true. It's all in the attitude. This is awesome
It's not the events that are the issue, it's how we approach the issues. Attitude. 🙂
Wow! This has me grinning, i love it!
I'll bet these two have been happy like this for all their years together. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this 🙂
You're most welcome. It's a nice reminder that we should smile more. 🙂
Simply 🙂
I agree with you Mike. 🙂
Great attitude. This fun and happy couple makes me laugh. So wonderful to see them enjoying themselves playing the piano. Wow! Married 62 years!
Yes, that's a wonderful commitment isn't it. 🙂
That's nice that they have a piano there to help people take their mind off of their condition.
Apparently it has been working for a very long time. 🙂
What a great way to begin my day! I especially smiled at the love pats they gave each other. Hubby and I do the same. Sadly, neither of us can play the piano, but we can operate a radio quite well.
Big hugs, honey…
Hubby and I do the same too. It's because we're happy with each other. 🙂
Thanks for this inspirational post. Great attitude crops up in all sorts of places and situations.
They sure do. It's how we approach things that's key. These two know how to do it right. 🙂
