Half Full Friday!

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 each 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!  (This isn't a blog hop so please only link up if you've participated by posting your happy list.  Thanks!)

~I'm happy because...

We finally got warm weather for longer than just a day or two this week!

One of my meetings this week went much better than I expected it to!

I got my ceremony pretty much figured out!  I have to put one on next month for one of the organizations I volunteer for and it's probably the most difficult part of the job - deciding what to do for it.

Out of the 21 things on my to-do list, I only have 4 left!

I finally found my BBW gift cards!

My dad is home from the rehab center!

I got two more participants for my Third Annual Doggone Dog Swap!  This brings the total to 18!

I got another follower this week!  If I could see who you were, I'd follow you back!

Nothing new to report on my dad.  He has a team of doctors and one of them told him he had liver cancer.  Last Friday he went to his oncologist for the first time and this doctor said that he wasn't covinced.  He thought it was more likely lung cancer but possibly a combination of the two and scheduled an MRI.  I felt like we left there with more questions than answers.  My father went to do the MRI but couldn't lay still long enough since part of the cancer is along his spine.  I guess the hospital didn't learn anything from when he went in to do the CT scan.  Now he goes back in on Monday to try it again, this time with a sedative and pain killers.   I don't see any real improvement in him but he isn't necessarily getting any worse either.

I had every intention of posting pix of my beautiful baby boys for Wordless Wednesday this week but I was much too busy hosting a pity party for myself and didn't get around to doing it.  And then I was going to do it yesterday but that didn't happen either, obviously...  So here's one today, instead.

Booker and Asa's mama asked to see my roses so here's a snapshot I got yesterday.
