In the mind of Robert Fulgham, he likened perspective to a big spiderweb hanging in a door frame. The perspective of the person who walks through it, is something of fear, shrieking, and wondering where the heck the spider is as you flail about getting the web out of your face. But the spider's perspective is totally different. He's finally caught the "big one". He'll never have to work again! The situation doesn't change...just the perspective. <BR/><BR/>Hi from Michele's.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985878650658789752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-57952450190906894392007-05-10T22:08:00.000-07:002007-05-10T22:08:00.000-07:00Have a fabulous friday! :) I enjoyed reading abo...Have a fabulous friday! :) I enjoyed reading about your balanced, fulfilling life of leisure!<BR/><BR/>Michele sent me your way today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-69256374650682162202007-05-10T18:29:00.000-07:002007-05-10T18:29:00.000-07:00Hey, sir.

Bravo!<BR/><BR/>One of your BEST!! AND your life mission statement!! Right on Mike.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I have so much to say and not enough time.....my first thoughts<BR/><BR/>I love how you define leisure. It is a state of mind and I had never looked at it that way. That in the moment way of approaching life does allow us to savour what is important all the while remaining awake alert and focused....all the while allowing us to see our lives as a wonderful learning growing stretching experience.<BR/><BR/>luxury........we are all richer, we all can live in luxury if we adopt your way of being.<BR/><BR/>I love the analogy you use.....a lens.....it completely resonates with me, and it also has allowed me to understand you point of view.<BR/><BR/>Great piece! I think you should submit it.<BR/><BR/>my last thought.......is an image of you dressed in polyester plaid, and it makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD!!<BR/><BR/>have a beautiful luxurious day, Mr. Althouse.....<BR/><BR/>muskie....awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-32147949315786076542007-05-10T00:48:00.000-07:002007-05-10T00:48:00.000-07:00"..to tackle the task of today..."the task of toda..."..to tackle the task of today..."<BR/><BR/>the task of today...<BR/><BR/>the task of today...<BR/><BR/>task..<BR/><BR/>task...<BR/><BR/>today...<BR/><BR/>tackle...<BR/><BR/>I must...<BR/><BR/>( deep breath...)<BR/><BR/>......ainVgp.......<BR/>( verification code)Lady Prismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333352060797182573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-55357057571186768362007-05-10T00:41:00.000-07:002007-05-10T00:41:00.000-07:00I enjoy visiting because your posts make me think....I enjoy visiting because your posts make me think...It's not an easy reading and when I am done I don't know what to say, I need 10 minutes to "digest" your words.
