I always say that perspective is everything. In the "Frog Princess", the Handsome Prince says to the Frog Princess, "What could a Frog need besides a pond, a lilypad and a few juicy flies?" The Frog Princess needs much more than that - she needs companionship - something the Prince doesn't even see.
My niece, Angie, takes beautiful pictures. What makes them so cool is her perspective. She really has an artist's eye and takes her pictures from unexpected angles. The results are fantastic.
So what has perspective to do with me today. I am waiting with baited breath to see if my insurance company will cover the new extended release version of my medication. This medication has made me feel so much better. But, from their perspective, cost matters more than anything. From my perspective, the extra couple hours of freedom this drug buys me every day is worth more than piles of gold.
I don't wish harm on anyone - but I do wish there was a way they could walk (or crawl) around in my body for 24 hours. It would undoubtedly change their perspective!
