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 on your own blog.  Thanks!)

~I'm happy because...  

I had a three day weekend last weekend!

I went to the zoo on Labor Day!

I saw the butterfly exhibit at the zoo!

I'm going to Arts in the Park this weekend!

I got an 87% on my first bio quiz!  I have another one to do this weekend, keeping my fingers crossed I do just as well, if not better!

I seem to be doing a lot better in math so far this semester!

I did a Monday Meme recently and was supposed to talk about this picture.  I knew it was a marsupial, but nothing else beyond that.  Well, I went to the zoo this past weekend and now I know what it's called - it's a wallaby!  The zoo allowed us to walk up close to them, although we weren't allowed to touch or feed them.  They were eating when I went through, so they weren't all that interesting to watch.
