Are you glass half empty or glass half full?

I don't actully think of each and every person who has it worse. I just try to think, it could be worse. It has been worse. Pull myself up by those old bootstraps and keep going.

Somedays it is really hard dealing with emotions that are so bad, there has to be a way to get out from underthem. When I compare it to someone else, I think, 'They are still making it, life isn't impossible, there must be an answer....'

I think the older I get, the easier it is to feel the glass is half full. I've been there, done that, suffered through things that I won't ever again {at least I don't think so....} and had some wonderful joys that can not be taken away. Those things are in my glass, keeping it half full.
