Perspective

Sometimes...sometimes, someone comes out of the corner of your eye and *WHAM* smacks you upside the head and tells you, in whatever tone of voice they choose, that you're playing the fool, and you need to open your eyes and see that which you hath wrought.

Funny...I am so big on communication, and not clouding judgements with emotion and foolishness...but there are still some things that I DON'T see.  The biggest thing that I seem to always overlook is the effect I have on people.  I know, this is foolish, it's something I SHOULD see, but somehow, I miss it, frequently.  The really funny part of that is this is exactly the thing I WANT to see and know...and yet, for whatever reason, it escapes me.

That person, that wild-eyed lost child that wallops you with the big ol' Perspective Stick...now, THAT'S a friend to cherish.

Thanks, Barbara.  Consider me back in the fight.
