There is a young adult that I know. She is brillant and beautiful and yet also has struggles with different things, but always pushes forward with a smile.
I saw today that she posted this entry onto her online journal and it made me think and it made me put things into perspective a bit.
“I got a job! I know it’s not that big of a deal, but I got rejected from 17 other jobs before getting this one, so it is a MAJOR deal to me! I am so freaking excited and can’t wait to work!”
Perspective. Perserverence. Attitude. Outlook.
How many of us would have the strength to keep on applying, be so excited about working, and be so honest and upbeat? It’s pretty inspiring.
Perspective. While I have in the past spent time teaching her, she has without a doubt, today, taught me.

And as for me, I’m going to head to my local grocery store. I’ve got some things to pick up and one of my favorite young girls is the number one cashier, loving her job with a smile on her face.
