Perspective By Larry Chadwick In life perspective matters, Pessimist or Optimist at heart? On which side are you, Everybody plays their part. You know it can’t be done, That’s what some will say. While others don’t wait, It is done the very same day. You know that this will fail, That’s what some will say. So they will not take the risk, While others will try anyway. Most don’t even give it a thought, The response is part of who they are. But once you recognize the voice, You’ll understand there is a choice. January 13, 2002 |

Of course it can't be done! That's why I just did it! Somedays I'm the optimist. Somedays I'm the pessimist. Somedays I'm stuck somewhere in between. But of course, that's not possible! But somedays, that's just where I am. LOL, I enjoyed this one Larry. |

Larry - an optimist I must be no matter what. And there's always a choice as you say. BC |

Larry darlig boy Now I wonder if you can guess which side I'm on? I suspect you'll say optimist and it's true, smiles are free, love can and should be given without meassure and optimism rules. Utterly utterly fabulous writing, as always darling boy you write such truth I love it into my library with you. As always Mushy    To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

I like your perspective Larry. Especially that bit about the response, some might like it and to hell with those that don't. I mean really, when it comes to choosing sides, I'm on my own... It's all in the way we perceive ourselves! |

I enjoyed this Larry and so true the words....there is always a choice. One of my favorite sayings I picked up somewhere......destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. Hugs. On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |

If I could wish and have one thing, it would be to know my perspective was always based on truth. I don't want much do I? Kathleen--(Kay) |
