It's How You Look at It



Is a flower at a funeral as beautiful as a flower in a wedding bouquet?   Aren't traffic jams more frustrating when you're late for work?  Do you notice the beauty of a bee pollinating a flower or are you more worried about being stung?  Is the rainbow worth the storm?

There is an old saying - Life is what you make it.  But it's also how you look at it.  Every situation you encounter gives you the opportunity to look at it from a variety of perspectives.  You can see the down side....or you can search for the upside.  It may be harder to find, but it's always there.  It's a lesson that I have to be reminded of sometimes. 

So on a day that I'm missing the boys, I decided to look at it from another perspective.  They're having a great time, learning lots and enjoying new experiences.  What more could I ask for?
