Perspective.

A new way of looking @ something you've seen over and over and over.

The discovery of an affair gives one perspective.

Having cancer gives one perspective.

Today look @ yourself, your family, your life w/ a new perspective.

Be reborn.

I came here almost four years ago and didn't think that I could EVER appreciate my husband or family more... after learning of his affair.

I was wrong. Life has a way of altering your perspective; if you let it... sometimes even if you don't.

Don't waste time on wouldas, shouldas or couldas. Being right won't win you any prizes.

Love w/ your whole heart. Be kind to yourself and others.

Love,
Cali

Right on Cali!

So very true and I just wish I had "known" these things in my twenties, how different my life might be right now. But that's a "coulda, shoulda, woulda" mindset isn't it, so I will just abandon that train of thought right now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Hi Cali---

Once again, you prove why you are the "queen." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

It's good advice for all here.

My best to you for continued "new perspectives" in 2005.

E
