It depends on my mood, whether that glass is half full or half empty. :}Author Kathryne Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206690509533777067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-36949595078317633722011-05-25T15:40:29.215-04:002011-05-25T15:40:29.215-04:00I was trying to find a picture for the iconic glas...I was trying to find a picture for the iconic glass set and google images brought me to your wonderful medium. <br /><br />I think I have to go with a new theory of the contents. The perception I am hoping to build is that neither glass is fit for me. My glass needs to be full. <br /><br />After all, it has two fluids simultaneously. The second fluid being the Air. That's how I would like to live my life. Always full <br /><br />:) <br /><br />I hope my jumbled thoughts resonate with some of you. Cheers!!<br /><br />P.S. May I please use the glasses picture for sharing it with my personal friends?Nave Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686011109006029582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-82129026206010237012011-05-17T20:48:17.627-04:002011-05-17T20:48:17.627-04:00I guess we all hope some times.

I'm a worker too, but when the things I can't control go wrong, I still have hope they'll come out okay - even when the situation looks hopeless to other people.

Should be thankful that there is something in the glass at all? LOL <br /><br />I guess I walk the middle road. So that would make me pragmatic. Yes sometimes I do hope for the best but I do live in reality and that keeps me grounded. <br /><br />You can hope for the best but expect the worst. Thoughts like these can become a distraction. <br /><br />I think I like my mom's outlook. Everything will work itself out. Though this sounds optimistic, what she really was trying to day was that at some point everything has a resolution good or bad and she was the most realistic, down the earth person on the entire planet. I miss her wisdom in that regard. <br /><br />Great post!A.W.

Sitting on my fanny and hoping to finish the next three books isn't going to get them written. Hoping that Deb likes them enough to buy more when I get them done is alright, though! At this point in my life, I'm learning to hope for the energy to get out there and work for all the things that I still want to accomplish before I slide up to the Pearly Gates. Is that a bit like one of those rings that are silver on the inside and plated with pure gold?Carolyn Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704111268464382004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-74570826418589086682011-05-17T07:52:51.766-04:002011-05-17T07:52:51.766-04:00My dad used to call me a hopeless optimist.

But I'm still an optimist. I don't think it's a matter of hope though. I think it's a matter of doing to make those dreams come true.Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.com
