It’s Always A Matter Of Perspectives
I got up this morning to a temperature of 11 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold, you say? For some, perhaps, but for others, it’s a matter of perspective. Why is that? Why does a person’s perspective play a great part in how they see things?
A quick look at the long-range forecast shows that it will get much colder, with a couple of days at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. Yet some take it in stride and prepare differently, while others will view it as one of the worst couple of days of the new year. Me? I’ll take it in stride and enjoy it. Why? As I said before, it’s always a matter of perspective.
