However I would also bet that if you are like me and have a little one at home.....at the same time as you were slowing dying inside, they were beaming with joy and excitement as those tiny flakes of evilness fell. You mentioned to them that it was in fact snowing outside (maybe even with a little bit of detest in your voice) and they ran as fast as they could to the window. They wanted to watch this exciting turn of events. They might have even squealed with delight. And for a few minutes you watched in complete amazement that, while you were completely hating the fact, they were basking in it. They had a completely different perspective of the situation than you did.

As I watched this scene unfold in my own house, it got me thinking how it could easily be applied to any situation. We can so easily be disgusted, angry, upset at ANY circumstance that may face us. It is so easy to just look at the bad that seems to be screaming out from what unfolds before us. What would happen though if we changed our perspective a little and looked at it from a different angle? It doesn't mean that we can't still feel upset or disgruntled ever, but if we change how we choose to see things it just might change how we see everything. It may just in fact shift our focus to something that is more important. It may just in fact have the power to impact how someone else sees something they themselves are facing. Perspective changes EVERYTHING.
