See the glass half full

well, if I really were going to get a tattoo, I’d get this somewhere prominent to try and remind myself to stop whining and recall how lucky I am if I look at the glass half full!

Basically, appreciate what I have. I do feel blessed with my life; 5 beautiful children, an awesome husband and a nice home. Sometimes I get so caught up in the family life that I envy the good ole single days- the days before I had no one to think about except myself. I’m learning to look for the small things that bring me joy and I’m starting to open up to strangers and find new friends. Life is good!!! Today We took the kids to the park and I played like alittle kid, laughed alot, and made a new friend-What a blessing for today.

maybe it isnt me… maybe the glass is just empty

even when things seem to be going right in my life i have to find the negative just to prepare myself for when it all goes horribly wrong, although my negativity is usually what makes it go wrong, but hey i guess its a catch 22 situation, no?

i’d like to think that i already see the glass as half full but im probably just being delerious. i like to give in to easily and see things as too bad to be rectified, but i guess it would probably help me alot if i didnt
