Changing Your Perspective

I had a colonoscopy Friday. That means that I spent most of the day Thursday sitting.
For those of you who have had this wonderful procedure before, you know that to prepare you must drink 4 liters of Go-Lyte laxative the day before the procedure. (Whoever named the laxative Go-Lyte had a cruel warped sense of humor)
I did however make the most of my sitting time. I read the book “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom. I think that it should be required reading for all humans.

I had my New Years resolutions all made out. I had my 2008 wish list of things I wanted to buy and do all prepared. After reading this book however, I threw it out and made a new list.

In 2008 I want to work less and play more. I want to talk less and listen more. I want to worry less and pray more. I want to make things grow. I want to make a positive difference in someone else’s life. I want to learn to dance.
