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.

I'm back!

I'm off from school and work for the next month!

I get to sleep in, spend the endless days with my chi's, catch up on reading, hang out with all my online friends, and so many other things!

I passed ALL of my classes this semester and did better than expected, gradewise!

There's less than a week until Christmas, my favorite holiday!

I didn't lose a single follower while I was away!  Thank you!

Some of you left comments and sent emails checking up on me, and I thank you for that.  It's nice to know that I was missed.  

So where have I been?  This past semester was incredibly busy.  I had to attend 3 musical performances, go on a police ride along, go to an art museum, and to the aquarium.  This was in addition to attending classes five days a week, working, doing homework and studying.  It was a matter of too much to do, too little time.  My last few posts hardly got an comments, so I figured no one would notice if I took a break.  

At first I didn't even miss blogging or visiting my online friends.  It was nice to have one less thing to keep up with.  But after awhile, I realized I did miss everyone!  I did visit blogs once in awhile and even left comments sometimes.  It'll be nice to catch up with everybody again.  

I meant to do a few posts over the Thanksgiving break, but got sick for several days.  Unfortunately, I still can't seem to kick the lingering cough.  

It's so good to be back!
