Half Full Friday

Source:  weheartit

Half Full Friday is a series of weekly posts that Eyegirl originally started in June 2009.  We believe that a lot of our happiness is determined by our attitude about the things that happen to us.  So by participating, I'm deciding to see the glass as half full instead of half empty; I'm choosing to concentrate on the positives instead of dwelling on the negatives.  The Half Full Friday posts are a way to do just that.  They're a list of the things in my life that have brought me happiness over the past week.  I'm determined to find something good in every day.  Are you?

For the next week, I'd like to challenge each of you to keep a list of at least one thing that brought you happiness each day.  Be sure to link up here once you've posted your list.

A big THANK YOU to everyone for all the wonderful Christmas cards this year.  I've really enjoyed going to check the mail and seeing my little box filled with cards.  I'm really going to miss it now that Christmas is almost over.

I'm sure everyone has probably already read about Hero.  If you haven't, please click here and read his latest post.  He's currently suffering from a nasty bout of Familial Sharpei Fever (FSF).  Please keep him in your prayers this holiday season.  There is no known cure.

I did have a Blog of the Week in mind but I couldn't find the one I was looking for.  A year or two ago, I stumbled across this blog that was all about Santa Claus.  Instead of just posting from like Thanksgiving on forward each year or whatever, Santa posted all year long.  During the holidays, he posted quite frequently and then maybe only once or twice a month the rest of the year.  I loved it because you could check on him throughout the year and see what he was up to.  I had it bookmarked but I switched computers but I haven't been able to find that particular blog since.  I'll admit I didn't do an exhaustive search but I did google it and couldn't find what I was looking for.  It may not even be in existance anymore for all I know.  I was too lazy busy to look for another one and I haven't run across any holiday ones that I wanted to use.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
