Talk about perspective. It made me feel like a lady of leisure who eats bon bons all day. It was a fascinating and incredibly well written book about being poor in Europe in the 1930s. I highly recommend it. And I assure you it will give you perspective. dear bloggingaway debt,

Who can count how many times we <i>drop the ball</i> and needed a jolt of perspective? Another thing that helps is taking a break and doing something that can calm the soul. :) Yes, perspective is a good thing.

That sounds so cheesy. I appreciate your optimism; it helps me be optimistic.

Suddenly, my sister is panicked about Asberger's syndrome and autism. Boy, did that put everything in perspective, and in very short order. We have three healthy children and a very happy marraige. If we had to choose between that and absolute financial security, we'd pick the happy/healthy route hands down. I didn't write in yesterday, but thought about your question a lot. I think the answer I finally came up with was that I'd like to enjoy and be satisfied with what we have and who we are--because we do have an awful lot--and not keep wishing for more. I hope you have a better day today!
