Half Full

Is your life half full or half empty? Day to day life can get a bit monotonous. There is no doubt about that. Houses need cleaning, lawns need mowed, dishes and laundry needs done, and bills need paying. It is so very easy to get bogged down in these burdens and forget how wonderful your life truly is. Our children and spouses drive us crazy (how hard is it to get the wet towels in the laundry basket?) We go to work day in and day out and when the paychecks come they are always too much eaten up by "the MAN". Staying upbeat can be tough sometimes... well most of the time really.
As I read updates of status on social networking sites it is easy to recognize the people whose glasses are half empty. Consider this the next time you want to complain about how tough your life and work and relationships are... There are men and women who will go to work today... grumpy... annoyed... mad at their kids or spouse for not cleaning the toothpaste out of the sink or not taking out the trash. Sadly some of these men and women will never return home. Remember... half full or half empty... life is short. For now the people you love enough to be annoyed by them are alive and well... smile and change the toilet paper roll yourself... and drink in your half full life :)
