How Perspective Can Create Happiness

Perspective: What is this very simple word all about? Thanks to Merriam-Webster being online, I learned that it's as simple as how a subject or its parts are mentally viewed.

I had to ask myself that this weekend in the midst of a discussion about the difference between "partly cloudy" and "partly sunny" (I know it sounds a bit esoteric, but I actually had that conversation). Further research from the National Weather Service showed that they actually mean the same thing -- it just depends on whether it is night or day. Imagine that! We were planning our day and as we looked up at the sky, we observed that it was mostly clouds and that this would determine whether our activity would be indoors or out. As I got up to leave the table and turned in the opposite direction, the sky was completely clear -- not a cloud in sight! Of course I turned back around and the sky I first observed had not changed a bit.
