Perspective

We had friends over last night, ones who had never been out to our house before.  As I'm showing her the house and the yard;  I was gently reminded of how blessed I really am.  Where I see an old country farm house, she sees a home with it's own unique qualities.  I see the yard that takes hours and hours to maintain, she sees a wide open expanse of quiet living.  I see weeds in the flowerbeds, she sees flowers and perennials that she'd like to grow.  I see a huge garden overflowing with work she sees many wonderful meals that will crowd my table later in the season. I see a deck and gazebo as a late addition to the house, she see a wonderful area to entertain friends.  I would see this and she would see that. 

It's all about perspective.

Just like the cup, that's filled half way.

Some see it as half full, making you and optimist.  Others see it half empty making them pessimists. Or so "they" say. 

How does your perspective effect the way you see or do things in your life?
