Keeping things in perspective.

by Ted Sedgwick on November 12, 2009

This week I have borrowed from one of those mass-mailed, “forward-to-10-friends-or-else” e-mail messages.  I don’t generally respond to them, and heaven forbid, because I don’t I should by now have suffered 287,345 heart attacks, lost 5, 237 wives, got fired from at least 100,00 jobs and been run over by several trucks.  But sometimes they get it right.  So with little further comment I’ll let you be the judge.  Pictures often say it best.

 

When your troubles seems to get too big to handle…..

HUMBLING, ISN’T IT?

HOPE YOU CAN FIND TIME TO FORWARD THIS , I DID!!!!
