My newsletters are subtitled, " From The Positive Perspective" because I believe that looking at situations from more than one perspective can be beneficial. Looking at situations from a Positive Perspective can help you to not only not feel helpless, sad or out of control but it can help you to feel as though there are ways for you to be active and control many situations in your life.   

Below is a poem brought to my attention that was written by an 11th grade Brooklyn, New York student by the name of Chanie Gorkin, who eloquently proves that while the words themselves do not change, the direction in which you read them and the way you put them together can make all the difference in your perspective on life.

Please read the poem below as written....then read the poem again starting at the bottom and reading it backwards one line at a time.  Your thoughts?
