Vienna Sausages & Sardines on the beach OR Surf & Turf with an Ocean View?

I am reading a book called "The Noticer" by Andy Andrews. It's all about perspective. An old man spends time teaching a young, homeless man about perspective, and, based on hearing Andy Andrews speak at Women of Faith, this new perspective will change the young man's life. So, I've been thinking a little about perspective, & trying to change mine a little bit. We may not always be in charge of what happens to us, but we are in charge of how we respond. If we have the right perspective, eating vienna sausages, sardines, & saltine crackers while sitting on the sand can just as well be enjoying surf & turf with an ocean view.
