Three Minutes to Gain Perspective

I like living in the US so this isn't a gripe. However, sometimes I feel like I lose a global perspective.  It is hard to remember that even in tough times, we have it relatively good.

I stumbled upon Reuter's daily editor's choice photos one day.  Every once and a while I find my way back. Besides being great photos, they help you remember that there is a big world out there. Sometimes other people's problems are a lot bigger than what we see in our immediate neighborhood and sometimes the same things make us smile.
