We believe that a lot of our happiness is determined by our attitude about the things that happen to us. So by participating, we are deciding to see the glass as half full, instead of half empty. We are choosing to concentrate on the positives, instead of dwelling on the negatives. Our Half Full Friday posts are a way to do just that. They are a list of the things in our life that have brought us happiness over the past week.
"Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day." ~ Author Unknown
We are determined to find the something good in every day. Are you?
For the next week, we challenge you to keep a list of at least one thing that brought you happiness each day. On Friday, write your own Half Full Friday post and return to Life As Eye See It to link your post and to see what other bloggers found happiness in during the past week.
Don't forget to grab a Half Full Friday Banner or Button for your blog post if you are going to join in:

ReplyDeleteI'm happy that I received SPIRIT BOUND by Richelle Mead on Tuesday. Okay, I didn't expect to finish it 2 1/2 days later (I'm still rereading parts of it).
ReplyDeleteI'm happy the sequel will be out in November. I think I can survive the wait. Just. :D
Have a great weekend!
I love your "i'm happy"s!
ReplyDeleteFinished reading two books already, now i know i need to buck up!
I think the workout is giving you great endorphins too!
Congratulations to the youngest kid :)

I commented on a post last night and almost mentioned that today was Half Full Friday but I didn't because I didn't know if you would want to participate this week or not and didn't want to make you feel like you had to. I'm so glad you did!

Love your list! Have a great weekend!

WOW! What a fantastic idea and post! It took me a while to understand exactly what you were driving at - a function of the place I am at the moment and my lack of goal directed positive focus. Did I ever need to stumble across this post today? Yes and YAY! With your permission, I'll start my own glass half full tradition! Thankyou, Hugh
ReplyDeleteI'm all for the positive. I like this idea. I just may amble over there and see what's up. Thanks for sharing and leading me to a positive place. And you did have a blessed week. Isn't that awesome! God bless.
ReplyDeleteHere it is Monday and I'm just finding out about this. Well I'll try to participate next friday if this is going to be an onging thing. Great idea!

What a wonderful idea for a post! I love to look at life with optimism!
ReplyDeleteI got the one with the dance belt, because the set of cheaper than the video alone on Amazon.com. Not sure about the belt, but I love the video. Even if a 'move' is too fast for me, I just keep moving to the music anyway. Moving still means burning calories right?! :-)
ReplyDeleteI must admit I do not always find good things in daily living. Something I will be working on. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there are good things mixed in with the difficult/bad/sad things in life and ultimately what we give the most attention to determines how happy we are! I hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a positive, happy post idea! I love it!
