Perspectives in the Life Bumps

caution - curves ahead in the road
A dear friend down in Houston, Texas, sent something to me today that I feel the need to share further. We get down in the dumps now and then because life isn’t going smoothly enough to our liking. (Raising my hand up very high.) But then, something comes along to put it all in perspective and reminds us that we need to look at the inevitable life bumps differently. It is time to turn the rock over and take a look at it from a different angle.

Some of my sweet readers have probably figured out by now that I am conservatively-minded. If you are not of the same persuasion, that is quite OK. (Life would be dull, indeed, if we were all alike.) To experience a poignant and profound perspective about cancer, I invite my readers to temporarily put aside any political viewpoints and read this compelling article by Tony Snow, who just died today.

  4. You are very welcome! I can't imagine writing something as amazing as that with death knocking on the door. What a beautiful gift to all of us - to impart an understanding of how to react when you hear the knock and how to put all the other things in life into their proper context.
