Perspective......

I require perspective.

AND

I simply cannot acquire it in a vacuum.

I have limited ability to see my world in a realistic manner.

I have to go out into the world and see other lives.

See what they deal with....

See how they cope....

See how blessed I am by comparison.

I know that we should not compare ourselves to others...

However, as selfish as this is, it is the only way I can

come to a realization of how fortunate I am.

Yesterday.....

I was given the gift of perspective.

I went about my everyday duties.....

and there it was.

My life ROCKS,

by comparison.

I have no problems,

in reality.

When I sit at home and worry.....

I get a distorted view of my life.

Did I thank you for your kind words?

They helped, thank you.
