Nice. Those are great photos! Perspective is so easy to lose when someone is in the thick of it. For me, I keep in focus I have a great extended family and my health. The rest is small stuff.

Debi - that makes good sense!

This is great, Charles !  Good analogy and point well taken.  Those photos are astounding and I learned a lot about the universe from you today.   ((-:

Jo - I am suprised we are not seeing more comments??? this was amazing to me....

The universe is an amazing thing. Especially that light years concept. The one about we are seeing things now in the sky that happened many, many light years ago. Amazingly awesome!  

Wow, I've never seen those photos before!  That definitely puts everything in place!

GREAT post! Love the photos and the comparisons!

Charles, great point, You know we often let ourselves get so worked up over such trivial little things and let them ruin our day (as well as the days of those we come into contact with) We do need to start putting things into perspective before we give them authority over the mood and tone of our day.

Marie - yes awesome!

Nora - we are a lot smaller than we think

Barbara Jo and Bill - glad you liked them

Stephen - just another way to look at things.

Wonderful post Charles (as usual)! 

I told you that I would be reading it.  Thank you for reminding me that my problems really aren't all that big in the grand scheme of things.

This is a huge universe and even active rain can not cover it all...

all the best my friend, Charles

Unbelievable.  Had absolutely no idea how small our whole world really is.

Thanks for sharing!

Amazing post!  I can't wait to see post 2 of 2.  I sent this to all of my friends.  Really puts things in perspective.

Peg - it is a small world!

Dale - I canceled 2 of 2 and put it all into one post! Glad you are sharing it!

You are right on the money. Our families are our most precious people in our lives. This does help to remind us of that fact.

Gaylen - so true, we can lose perspective sometimes

Charles - You sure have made me feel small heading into the weekend :)

BILL - not my intent! but this mamde me double take when I saw it

These were  neat.  I remember in 5th grade I was supposed to draw a poster "map" of the solar system, in scale.  LOL.  I didn't get a good grade.  I just remember using a saucer to trace the sun, a quarter for Earth, and a half dollar for Jupiter.  I can see now that I was WAAAAY off.  LOL

KAREN - We were all way off base!

Charles, great post and good analogy.  You are right....family is everything and most important.

 

GARY - Glad we agree!!!

(I found this post by digging through your past)

Charles,

This is a great post for really 'putting things in perspective'.  No matter how big your problems are.... there are others that have bigger problems.  Just the other day, I started to write a comment on a post about the Pat's football team and I said.... (about them making it 16-0).... "I hope they make it, but my biggest concern is...."  Then I stopped and laughed.  My biggest concern was about the Pats?  Gotta keep it all in perspective.

From now on.... my problems are Pluto!!!!

MARTIN - LOL!!!
