Years ago I had an almost life changing experience reading a short story by Robert Fulghum called Problem or Inconvenience. It has a similar theme and I read it at a time when we were experiencing many inconveniences that felt like problems - until reading the story.Cheryl Gebharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397847473688573549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-55963363200726906022010-09-17T20:42:24.565-04:002010-09-17T20:42:24.565-04:00Funny (odd) how a shift in perspective puts those ...Funny (odd) how a shift in perspective puts those annoying, irritating "issues" in a different light!<br /><br />Our code phrase is "Oh, geez, what a problem to have!" usually said in a slightly sarcastic tone. It's usually said after we've just spent 10 minutes griping about who our possessions are possessing us rather than the other way around!<br /><br />Excellent post!Laure Ferlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966163843633158039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-9702411415761683202010-09-17T18:22:43.011-04:002010-09-17T18:22:43.011-04:00Thanks, Teresa!

Great mind think alike ;-)<br /><br />P.S. I also like a motto that was on the back of one of my son's t-shirts years ago, and I remind myself of it when I find myself complaining. It said (in Olde English typestyle, "Quit Yer Snivelin" ... Love it! :-)Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186138266137470331noreply@blogger.com
