A little perspective

It's all about perspective - especially when you are dealing with someone else and their emotions. That's a great lesson I've tried to learn over the past for weeks and more importantly over the last few days. Here's a great example.... Last night - Midnight to be exact my cell phone rings....SERIOUSLY!!!! IT'S MIDNIGHT PEOPLE!! This morning I noticed that this crazy person whom I thought I could have killed last night left a voicemail.....I was intrigued (the number had been blocked)........ I heard a voice, it sounded familiar almost memory grabbing - young, southern, and trying to be very quite..... It was a (and I'm guessing on the age of course) 11 or 12yr old girl prank calling me! I actually starting laughing
See I could be mad b/c she woke me up in the middle of the night just to do that - wake me up in the middle of the night. Or I could laugh and see it from her eyes, she was at a sleep over, trying to have some fun; and in this world a silly prank call seems innocent to me! So if I could give a bunch of girls a silly laugh, Right On!
What I love most, the fact that her voice sounded familiar and memory grabbing - Missy, not gonna lie girl it sounding like you when you were 11 or 12!!! LOL and I immediately starting thinking about the silly prank calls we did as little girls :)
So look at the next situation in a different way - like my flower, it's beautiful if you can't see the weeds and the bug eaten leaves surronding it!

That is hilarious! Since you loved it so much (and I am up all hours of the night) maybe I'll give you a ring and use my best little girl voice : - )
I was thinking about our pranking days while reading that before I even got to the part about you thinking the same thing!
