Half Empty Half Full

    I start this blog with a lot on my mind.  Today I was at a funeral for a person who accidentally died in his early fifties.  The funeral was just fine and what one would expect.  The reflections on his life highlighted all that he had done and all the things that were important to him.  It wasn't until after I left the funeral that these thoughts started going through my mind, I need to finish the laundry, get my work done, clean the house, and the list goes one.  This seems natural right?  That's when things changed.  My mind started to take a different turn.
    I started to think how at the end of the day people focus on the things they didn't get done, things they have to finish yet. In fact mentally making the list of things we have failed with.  Most days we don't tend to go to bed thinking, Wow! Think of all the things I got done today,  I played with my kids, finally fixed the ____, spent time just talking with my spouse, add in your own thoughts here.  We like to think that we look at a glass and think about it as half full but the reality is that we look absent-mindedly at life as half empty.
    A simple reminder for all of us is to start looking for the half full glass daily.  It's there, we just have to find it.
