Half Full Friday! July 30th

"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." - Marcus Aurelius
Half Full Friday is a series of weekly posts that Eye Girl originally started in June 2009.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.  We are determined to find the something good in every day.  Are you?
"Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response." - Mildred Barthel
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:

“Life is 10% what you make it and 90% how you take it.” ~The Catholic Reader

This is what I'm Happy for this week:
  • I am very happy my middle son is getting better! :-)
  • I am happy that he had such a positive attitude after waking up with Bell's Palsey last week.
  • I am happy that his dad lives close to him and made him go to the doctor!
  • I am happy that we all get along well and are friends! 
  • I am very happy my youngest son's favorite mentor moved back! :-)
  • I am happy that he is empowering himself more and more each week!
  • I am happy that I got so many work related projects done this week!

    I love this meme... I think we ALL should think about things which make us happy EVERY day... That would make each day happier...

    Sorry that your son has Bell's Palsy... I have a good friend who had it. It affects the face... Right? I think it can be caused by stress. Hope he is better soon..

    Glad you got alot done this week... I did too!!!!! Today, I am happy that we finally had 2 inches of rain this week (which we desperately needed).

    Have a great weekend, Coreen.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    I'm glad your middle son went to the doctor and is getting better too! I used to work with a girl who had it. She just woke up with it one day! I don't remember the timeframe the dr. said it would take her to recover but my coworker took longer.

    Many things to be happy about; being half full can sometimes be more difficult than being half empty.
