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?“Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show. The secret lies in an inner glow. It's lighting a fire inside the heart. Good will and joy a vital part. It's higher thought and a greater plan. It's glorious dream in the soul of man.” ~Wilfred A. Peterson, The Art of Living
“Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love." ~Hamilton Wright Mabie
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 time off & a trip to Chicago!
- For my house and pet sitter 'friend'!
- For time with 2 of my boys!
- For a friend's auto shop! They take good care of me.
- For seeing my niece and nephew in their Christmas program last Sunday!
- For getting so much done this week.
- For truth and honesty!
"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful." ~Norman Vincent Peale

My question: What has been or would be the best Christmas gift?“Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas.” ~Peg Bracken
My answer: It's truly a gift whenever I'm with the people I love!
