Perspective

I was able to slip home for a bit recently. Soon after my arrival I was presented a "honey do" list. My first thought (don't judge, this is a confession) was, "I am deployed, I shouldn't have to do that stuff."

Then I came to my senses (much like the Prodigal Son) and then said to myself, "You FOOL, you know you would have given all the money in the world to slip home from your previous deployments and do double that list!"

Perspective is a powerful teacher.

Perspective is a powerful gateway to become more grateful.

I happily finished her list...
