Half Full Friday is a series of weekly posts that Eye Girl originally started in June 2009. Now the it is hosted by Sprinkles at Wyldechylde. 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?"A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change." ~Author Unknown
“Some of the greatest things in life are unseen. That's why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry or dream." ~Author Unknown
For the next week, we challenge you to keep a list of at least one thing that brought you happiness each day.
I'm Happy and Thankful for many things every day... especially this week:
- For the company of a good friend!
- For a great interview this week!
- For not 'needing' anyone's help.
- For good dreams at night!
- For only '1' more day to wait!
- For getting the answers I seek soon.
- For Christmas plans in Chicago!!
"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions." ~Dalai Lama
It's also "ALOHA FRIDAY" Everyone!! If you want to join in the fun? Post your own question on your blog and leave your link at the Aloha Friday post at An Island Life. Then you can visit the other participants if you wish...It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends or see what people are thinking about this week and join in a conversation or two if you like. My question: For you, what is the most important religious message or 'traditions'?"Love, compassion, and forgiveness towards one's neighbor will bring peace in your relationships." ~Beatitudes
My answer: I think the following quote says it best: Love, Compassion and Forgiveness, shown everyday; not just on Christmas or Sundays. :-)
"All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives." ~Dalai LamaHave a Loving Friday, Everyone!!
Hugs and Many Blessings,

ReplyDeleteJesus said at John 13:34, 35; "I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved YOU, that YOU also love one another. By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.."
ReplyDeleteIf these two little verses were applied throughout the world, there would be no more wars, strife, or abuse of any kind.
Love is definitely the best answer! "The greatest of these is love."
ReplyDeleteFor GOD so LOVED the world that HE gave HIS only begotten Son that whosoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have everlasting life! God Loved that He gave!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's more about how you conduct your daily life than anything.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Friday!
