Perspective is a funny thing. It holds the key to meaning in all that we say and do. For instance, earlier in my life I enjoyed "relaxing" by playing a round of golf, going for a workout, or some other activity. Now the work "relax" holds an entirely different meaning. It might signify sneaking in a 30 minute nap on a Sunday afternoon, enjoying a book, or even just sitting for a few minutes in the evening talking with Jen while laundry hums in the background. Life changes perspective and in turn our definitions. One of the most significant re-definitions I've learned is LOVE. Before marriage, it was just a feeling, before KK it was a commitment, now it's an overwhelming privilege. To be able to love and be loved is humbling and charging simultaneously. I can't imagine life without THIS kind of love and yet I've only defined it in these terms for a short while.
I wish many more new definitions as life pours out experiences on each of us!
