“It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.” ~L.M. Montgomery

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?

"The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters." ~Audrey Hepburn

“Happiness is not ready made.  It comes from your own actions.”~Dalai Lama XIV

“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.” ~Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Happy Easter, Everyone!!
Blessings and Hugs,

"You've got to sing like you don't need the money.  You've got to love like you'll never get hurt.  You've got to dance like there's nobody watching.  You've got to come from the heart, if you want it to work." ~Susanne Clark

Have a wonderful weekend!!

“There are some people that see the half full cup and get upset about where the other half of the cup went… With an attitude like that, they will never be happy.  I see a half full cup and I immediately fill up the rest with gratitude.”

"Don't give up!  You will succeed and be Happy if that's what you truly want." ~Unknown

My question:  When you feel like giving up; how do you Not?

My answer: I refocus, PRAY and take one day at a time. :-)

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down to your feet.  Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist.  Be curious.  And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.  It matters that you don’t just give up.” ~Professor Stephen Hawking on his 70^th birthday.
