or half empty kind of person?
For most of my life I must admit, I’ve been a glass is half empty person.
I spent my first pregnancy (on 3 1/2 months of complete bed rest) wondering why I couldn’t get pregnant or carry twins like a ‘normal person’. Instead of seeing the blessing of pregnancy I will admit I saw my glass as half empty.
That is, until the day our precious twin boys were placed into my arms. Suddenly everything changed for me. The long lonely months spent on bed rest were a complete blur. Our boys were healthy and alive. My glass wasn’t just full, it was overflowing.
It was then I realized that my glass wasn’t really half full during those months. There was just room for more.
Do you think something is lacking or missing from your life? Is there room in your glass for more? If you believe that you can choose your attitude then you must also believe that its all a matter of perspective.
So I’m going to challenge myself to change my perspective during this stressful move.
Is your glass half-full or is there just room for more?

karin katherine, why?! i was reading along, thinking “this is a great post! what a great reminder!” and then the last question. yuck. we have a family thing coming up, and i DO NOT want to go. so then your question comes along, and now i've been challenged to change my thinking on it! i don't want to change my thinking!
but thanks for the challenge, because i really do need to have a better attitude!
Hi Karin,
Yea….kind of a half empty…but thanks for the reminder that it's so much better to look at things from a positive perspective. In some situations I really can, but in others it can be tough. Working on it!

Well said!
I love how you find the silver lining! I've always been a glass is half full type of gal but since I've been married I've learned that's not always a good thing.
this is a great thing you are doing! I need a little change in my perspective too.
I just found your blog today and LOVE it. Todays post really hit home for me. I've been struggling, again, with my identity now that I'm a late 30's mommy and homeschooling three, living on a ranch in the middle of nowhere. We live on a tight budget and so my aesthetic has changed you could say. Lately, I've found myself comparing myself to my friends, who are wonderful, sweet and generous, but who also have more money (or spend it differently than we do anyway). I hate comparing myself to others, but lately I've been feeling my glass is half empty. And its not! My cup runnuth over. It's all in my mind.
really leaving room for more! I love that! and I needed that tonight…
Love this post..a great reminder!
