A perspective is basically what you see from where you're standing. In art it is drawing in 2 dimensions in such a way as to see depth and distance. Of course your persepective can change depending on where you are standing.
I remember when I first passed my driving test and got my full licence - too many years ago to think about! But my license said that it expires in January 2011 when I reach a certain age. At the time I remember thinking, 'Well why on earth will I want to be driving at that age anyway?' A few weeks ago I received a letter from the Driving License Centre reminding me that my license was due to expire and that if I wanted to renew it for another 3 years then I needed to fill in the necessary form and sent it back to their office for confirmation. It's strange how my perspective has changed! Of course I want to renew and extend my license.
As a young woman, I could not have imagined how I would feel as the years progressed and held certain opinions about many things, not just about driving. But life is a great teacher and I have learnt many lessons. I have changed my perspective, point of view, outlook on a number of issues. How often do we hear people say that they have changed their minds about certain issues or that they don't think or believe certain things any more or they now do things differently.
I may elaborate on some of my own changes of opinion in future blogs but for now suffice to say that I have learnt to be less dogmatic and more tolerant because I know that over the years I myself have changed.

How true. I know I have changed over the years too in what I believe, the core is still the same and I still see the value of some of the things I used to hold to but I don't necessarily hold them so tightly anymore. I also think there are some things that are more valuable in one season of life than another.
Thank you Joanna and,yes, I agree about the seasons of life. Thought of you this morning when I awoke and how busy you'll be today so thanks for making time to comment. Have a fabulous day and bless you and your family.
Am looking forward to reading your musings on life! Have been challenged about doing more with my blog this year, actually putting time aside and being more proactive. Trying to see how I can do this without becoming too rigid!
Thanks Julie. I know what you mean about becoming rigid. I think I stopped before because I was doing it more out of a sense of duty than a pleasure which defeats the whole purpose I think. I was actually encouraged by other blogs that don't post all the time but when there is something they want to say. I enjoy what you write so just write when you want, I say. Blessings to you and yours.
