Perspective - Part 2

So I wrote a short post on Perspective about a month and a half ago claiming that I would follow up with a thought-out post later.  Well I've finally admitted to myself that the thought-out post probably won't happen for a while, or ever.  Instead, I've just been sending myself emails with quotes and other things that really make me think about my life and give me perspective.  I've decided that instead of sending myself all of these emails, I'm just going to post the quotes, stories, etc. as I read them with any short thoughts that come to mind.

So to go back to the email that started this all:

Living in the Dhab has really made me think more about the distinction between standard of living and quality of life.  Just thought I’d let you know

Love you

Paul
