It's All in the Way You Look at it...

Over the years we have all heard  stories and jokes about the difference between an optimist and a pessimist...

One sees the glass half full; the other sees the glass half empty.

One gets up and says, "Good morning, Lord!" The other one says, "Good Lord, it's morning!"

The best one I have ever heard was told by our pastor this last Sunday.

There was a set of twin teenage boys who had been assigned to help a neighbor by cleaning his barn. The first twin walked in and said,"Oh, man, look at that stack of manure - it's almost to the ceiling - we'll never get done!"

The other twin ran over, picked up the shovel and started digging away. The first twin said, "Dude, what are you doing?!?" The second twin answered, "With all this manure, there's gotta be a pony in here somewhere!"

I love it.

The thing about life is that it's so ......daily.  How we survive it is largely determined by the way we look at it. Hmmm....do I see a bridle hanging over there?
