For Some Perspective

It is so easy to think that perhaps life is not as you would like it to be at times.

For some perspective, I thought I would take a glance at some headlines from around the world.

Devastating floods have washed over Brazil claiming 39 lives and left as many as 100,000 people homeless.

Storms have pounded southern China for more than a week, killing at least 199 people, with 123 still missing, as landslides have cut off transportation, and rivers and reservoirs have overflowed according to Xinhua, the Chinese news agency. Torrential rains burst a dike in southern China, sending 88,000 people fleeing their homes.

A remote-controlled roadside bomb ripped through a bus transporting Turkish military personnel and their families in Istanbul, killing 5 people.
