So, is your glass half full or half empty?

About Me
- Connie
- I am a vegan, a Messianic Jew, an animal rights activist, a “rabid” environmentalist, an avid reader, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend and all-around nut! I’m looking forward to getting to know you! I am also a reluctant blogger. When I was a kid, I asked my parents for a diary. My dad cautioned me about sharing my secrets and especially putting them in writing. I got my diary, but couldn’t write more than about three half-hearted entries such was the level of my paranoia! A friend of mine once explained she started blogging as a discipline for writing -- she needed someone to read to hold her accountable to the goal of writing every day. That's why I'm blogging Monday through Friday -- as a discipline to write, to share whatever wisdom may be in my ramblings, to learn to open up to people and to see where it goes from here. Thank you for joining me on my journey; I appreciate your taking the time to read and I welcome your comments. You can also e-mail me at seewhykinsman@gmail.com.

Wonderful question! My glass is always half full ... it just makes me happier to live that way! It's not that I'm blind and don't see the other half ... it's just that optimism seems to draw good things towards itself. I love feeling joyful!
ReplyDeleteSo ... how about you? Are you a half full or half empty kind of person?

I definitely try to be a half full type of person. I believe happiness is a choice. I also believe some people are naturally more positive than others. Unfortunately, I'm someone who has to work at it more than I would like.
