Perspective

Have you ever had anyone put things in perspective for you?  Yup, after my last little post as I was whining that someone took/stole my homade "for sale" sign, as I had hostas and ferns on the curb, a friend of mine made one little comment that helped me get out of my crankiness. 

Then I remember reading a sign several years ago: "A lump in your mashed potatoes is not the same as a lump in your breast!" And if a little stolen "free" sign tips me upside down too much, something isn't quite right!  

You bet.  There are bigger things to be upset about. After all, no one stole my identity, no one stole my good name, reputation or anything else!  There certainly is a difference, isn't there? 

What are the things I CAN be grateful for? There's plenty! Excess flowers are gone; shared with the taker; grass is mowed and long enough to fight the drought; friends who care enough to come over and share a fish dinner and watch TV awhile!  There really is nothing worthwhile to crank about...it's all perspective, isn't it!
