Emily,
The birth of a child gives me perspective. I've seen all my children being born, and while it was a joyful and happy time, it was incredibly humbling and awe inspiring. The ability to assist in creating a life, the law of nature at it's finest!

> The idea of listing favorite self-help books reminded me that I gain a great deal of perspective from thunderstorms--anything in nature, really, that reminds me how powerless we are in the Big Picture. It is somehow comforting--a release of responsibility to save the world alone, a sense that doing the best I can do today is not only enough--it's all that I *can* do...
