Perspective...it's all about perspective.

Today hasn't been a great day.

Yesterday we had our inspection with the city and the guy was a fill-in for the regular inspector...so I guess he didn't think he needed to do anything. He looks at everything, Sam asks him what we need to change and he mumbles, then grunts...and still no answers. "So, how does the electric look?" "Well, they'll probably ok it."....They? who's they? We thought you were the inspector?

Anyway...the vague answers didn't help any...so we are going to keep doing what we think we need to do.

I did figure out something today. This is my last home renovation project. Yes, I am hanging up my hammer for good. Well...in a couple weeks I will retire my hammer...

Now onto some more great news. For the last couple days I've been smelling something like burning rubber while driving. I thought it had something to do with my tires. Come to find out...there's a little piece of plastic near my oil receptacle...I forget what it's called, but it's leaking! Ugh! I have my oil changed and then I start to pout...and then start feeling a little overwhelmed...and just at that moment I hear a story on the radio. It's about a nurse who is taking care of a 30 year old woman who has breast cancer. The girl is dying and she's under hospice care.

Wow...that hit me like a ton of bricks. From my perspective I thought my world was ending (not really-but you know what I mean)...from the 30 year old's perspective her world-her life on this earth was ending. Sometimes I guess we need to be reminded of just how good we have it. I've heard it said...if you wake up in the morning...you're having a good day. Well...I'm awake, in good health, so what's my problem?

May we all be reminded of just how good with have it.

Until next time.
