I forgot to mention that I sent the spoonbill to you. I had seen him a few days ago and asked that he bring you good luck today. Guess he did, along with the good vibes from this thread.

Go kick up your heels and celebrate. Cannot say to go out and have a nice glass of wine with dinner until things get better. So, instead, maybe order out and have that glass of wine with Mr. Sheba by the fireplace after he gets home from work.

Congrats to your daughter and her new sidekick. You didn’t mention age or type. And is this the daughter in Georgia who recently lost her best friend? Oh, I’m so jealous. Well, back to work for me. I’ll write more later. Love the new thread. So easy to maneuver. No time outs thus far.

Starting from Empty

Live your life as if your glass is half-full rather than half-empty, all you need is a change of thought.

We are all familiar with the metaphorical story of two people looking at the same glass and one perceiving it as half-full while the other sees it as half-empty. As much as we’ve heard this, it’s still a valuable exercise to really observe our minds and notice whether we are engaged in half-full or half-empty thinking. People will refer to themselves as being of one type or the other as if it was a permanent characteristic, but we are all capable of shifting into a half-full consciousness if we simply make the effort.

When we look at our lives with half-empty consciousness, we perceive a lack and think that the other half of what we want is missing. We are coming from a position of expectation and entitlement. On the other hand, when we look at our lives as half-full we perceive fullness. It is as if we recognize that our cup could be fully empty and so we are grateful for what we see as bounty — not something we expect or believe we are owed, but a gift. In half-full consciousness, we count our blessings. When we look at our lives we see all the elements that are in place and all the things we do have. This doesn’t necessarily mean we don’t seek more, but we seek from a place of fullness instead of from a place of lack. This fullness draws positive energy into our lives and often attracts more abundance.

If you would like to begin to make the shift into half-full consciousness, try imagining your life as an empty glass. This is your life without all the people you know, the work you do, your home, or your current state of physical wellbeing. This is just an empty, open space waiting to be filled. Once you have that feeling of openness in your mind, begin filling it with all the people, things, and places that make up your life. You may be surprised to find your glass overflowing.
