March Madness and Martinsville, that is why I like spring. Well, I like the warmer weather too, but 

Martinsville is on my mind at the moment.

The smell of brakes and the racing fuel. A whole field of cars inches apart on a half-mile track, where anything can happen. Beating up fenders and small margin for error. Yes, that is Martinsville and the first NASCAR race there of 2014 comes this Sunday. 

The 2014 Social Work Month theme “All People Matter” is one that is followed year-round by social workers at Hospice of Rutherford County. 

“Social workers do a variety of things, depending upon the setting,” said Joey Revis, Social Work coordinator for Hospice of Rutherford County. “Social workers are often advocating, supporting and protecting vulnerable people, assisting to heal trauma, innovating new programs and mobilizing neighborhoods.

What do you see?

A friend told me a story about listening to life with his grandson.  They sat together, eating M&Ms.  After a handful or so, the little guy started staring at one of the candies.

“What do you see?” the grandfather asked.

“Well, I see an M,” the boy said.  He turned the candy slowly around about a quarter of a turn.

“Now I see a 3,” he said, and turned the candy again.

“And there’s a W,” he said, turning the candy.

“And look!  There’s an E,” he told his grandfather.  “And that’s all,” he said, and popped the candy in his mouth.

Amazing, isn’t it, what you can see when you just change your perspective a little bit.  As little as a quarter turn in your viewpoint can open up a whole new world for you, can’t it?

Whatever you’re looking at in your life, turn it over and see it from an unfamiliar perspective.  Discover a whole new way to live positive!
