Perspective


I scowl at the dust bunnies that appear from under the couch, then I see the flood victims of Queensland cleaning out inches of mud from their houses ... perspective

I feel the pain in my fingers from my arthritis, then I read a story about a person with no hands ... perspective

I feel the pain in my back and then running down my legs, then I see a story on TV about a woman with no legs who uses a skateboard to get around ... perspective

I get fed up having to clean and tidy my house, then I see a story about a whole family living in a tent 12 months after an earthquake ... perspective

I think it is time for a new bed, then I see someone live on the streets ... perspective

Then I give thanks that I have all I have ... perspective - it is all out how you look at it!!!

  8. It certainly is. Today, I have too much to do -- but some day, I may not, and how much fun will that be?

    None. :-) None fun.
