We all have different perspectives often determined by our experiences. For example, this morning It felt like spring in south Texas. This first person I spoke to agreed and couldn’t wait to get out and enjoy the day. The next person I spoke to told me that it was cold and she couldn’t wait for it to warm up. Who was right?
