Perspective

I recently have been handed a whole bunch of lemons in my life. I know they say to make lemonade out of lemons, but what if I do not want to? What if I do not have the resources to make lemonade? Of course this is all figuratively speaking. In light of things, I am adult to know that other people have bigger problems that what seems to be my gigantic problems.
Recently, Nate sent me an email that talked about "perspectives". Life is about perspectives. This got me thinking; how do I want to view life, situations, and all that entails? Not only perspectives, but attitude. My attitude affects my life. How I act towards something changes my perspective.
I want to be a positive person. I want to be able to step outside my situation and see beyond the situation and it's self and myself. I want to do this for myself, my marriage, and for Parker's sake. I want to be able to do this so I can teach my son the "right" perspective. I want my son to be a positive person. Do not get me wrong, there is no one in this world who has this down and/or who doesn't struggle with having the right perspective from time to time.
How do I remind myself of this? Should I get a tattoo that says "Perspective" ? All I know is I need something to remind me of this. I need help in remembering to be positive. Wish I didn't need help in this area, but hey I am human.
Well, here is to a new perspective.
