day 7-
There’s nothing like talking with someone less fortunate to put things in… perspective.
(yes, it looks as though I've misspelled perspective, but the “e” is on the other side of the envelope)
Lets face it, there is always someone less fortunate than yourself no matter how bad you think you have it. I’ve been dwelling on the fact that times are tough. We have no jobs coming in, my job search has come up with nothing, and the little bit we do have goes straight to the bills with nothing left over (thank goodness for a productive garden and a freezer full of meat!). But after talking with a friend on this day, I saw that, really, in some ways, i do have it better than a lot of people out there. We have a home that is ours. It keeps us sheltered. It has enough room in it for us to spread out and live in comfortably, and then some. We have a skills and knowledge to sustain ourselves, even in the hardest of times (everyone needs a plumber right?). And the biggie, we are healthy. In hindsight, we don’t have a lot to complain about. It’s all about perspective.
