Perspective

It's all about perspective really isn't it....

When you're a teenager complaining about having a cannula put in your hand to get drugs that will fix a very treatable disease it seems disasterous but just down the hallway there is a baby who has already had more than five operations and will endure a lifetime of complicated medical problems and will never live a 'normal' life yet smiles at the staff who are come to give him more painful procedures. Perspective.

I think my life is tough sometimes and juggling uni, kids, housework, study etc is draining but another student doing the same course as me has five children and home and works a part time job as well. Again - it's all about perspective.

This too is all about perspective and sometimes I think we should take a step back, look at the life we have rather than what we don't have and be thankful for it.

Oh yeah! I agree 100%.

Years ago I read a books called "Don't sweat the small stuff ... and it's all small stuff". I lost that book and bought it again last week with my first paycheque. I'd forgotten all those lessons, but I'm learning tham again very quickly, I can tell you!

So sorry about lunch today - and I feel especially bad as I have been abandoned by the trainer and I could have had lunch with you after all!
