The Glass Is Half Full

A lot has been going on since my last blog entry. I am reminded everyday how very blessed my family is. We have a few friends that have gotten disturbing diagnosis as of late. We have a friend that was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma and another that was diagnosed with MS. We have so much to be thankful for. Our health is not something to be taken lightly and I feel all too often people do. I answered the phone the other day and a gentleman made the comment that any day he wakes up and he's on this side of the grass it's a good day. I couldn't have put it in a better perspective than that.
I know that it's not always easy to keep that in mind. It was just today that my optimism annoyed Joe. I get down too. We are all going to have days where we just want to have our pity party and damn it-we will cry if we want to! It is ultimately though your perspective of the world that affects your mood and attitude. The longer I am on this earth (thank you God for the time I have been here) the more I learn how true that is.
Now all optimism aside, I must get some sleep so I can be productive for work tomorrow. I will write more later.

  1. So true, SO TRUE. Sometimes I have to force myself into thinking positively. I even make myself say that thing are going to be fine even though I really am panicking.

    So glad you started this blog. Now we can keep up with each other better! POST PICTURES OF THAT SWEET GIRL...I am dying over here!
