Life is all in the perspective we take on it. - jlh Today is a day to look at our life from different and broader perspectives. As we watch the stock market plummet, real estate values continue to decline, and our employment future in question, today would be a good day to look at our lives from a perspective of thankfulness for what we have and a perspective of wonder at our very existence and the magnificence of the world we live in.

a quote from LIVE BOLDLY Unexpected events can set you back or set you up. It's all a matter of - perspective. - mary anne radmacher Life can look different from a distance Put some distance between yourself and whatever is concerning you. Distance in space or time always creates a new perspective. Get up-close-and-personal Life looks different when you really get involved. You wouldn't get to watch the bee on the yellow flower if you didn't look closely. Look at Life in a Different Light Shine a bright light on your issues, or turn off the spotlight and take a broader view. Look from a Different Angle Approach life from a new angle. Assume nothing. Pretend You Just Got to America We just don't see what is familiar. When we go to a foreign land we really SEE because we don't already ASSUME what will be there. Pretend your community is a foreign land and really SEE it. SEE your blessings - pit-toilets and bicycle-trucks are not romantic. See Life as Play Who said that life has to be serious? See How Blessed We Are We have more comfort, more wealth, and better health than ever before in history or anywhere else in the world. If we are not happy, perhaps we should count our blessings.
