> The idea of listing favorite self-help books reminded me that I gain a great deal of perspective from thunderstorms--anything in nature, really, that reminds me how powerless we are in the Big Picture. It is somehow comforting--a release of responsibility to save the world alone, a sense that doing the best I can do today is not only enough--it's all that I *can* do...

Perspective...I can definitely relate. I love to look at the stars...to just stare up at the sky and see the thousands of stars, and just wonder if we look as small to them as they look to us? How the things that seem SO earth shattering and important to me have no meaning to them at all. In the grand sheme of everything, at the end of it all, the judgement if you will, it won't matter whether or not I had the perfect job or the perfect friends or the perfect size 6...so what will matter? Its very hard to put things into perspective when the world seems to be crashing down around you...but just try to think about the bigger picture...it may help =)

Luv and sunshine...Jena
