Half Full Friday #2

Well, it's the end of the week! Time to record some optimism and list out
some things that made me happy this week. Why don't you join in?
What are some things that made you happy or how did you turn
a sour situation around and make lemonade?
This week I'm happy because....
  1. I had a nice birthday! I did get that wish for a new camera! As soon as I figure out how to use it, I'll share some pictures!
  2. Harry got a 100% on his math worksheet. He's also doing vocal warm ups with the rest of the high school choir. I'm sure it's a site to behold...and hear! LOL!
  3. One of my girlfriends surprise me at my front door with a Panera muffin and some coffee. Awww...how sweet was that?!
  4. Although this has been a crazy, busy week, everything seems to have gone quite smoothly.
  5. All the beds have fresh sheets on them today.
  6. Alex gave me a kiss without me asking for it. (this one may be my favorite!)
If you want to join in officially, go to Life As Eye See It and sign up on Mr. Linky beginning Friday morning!

    Yes, I would agree that kisses are the best...especially from my boy, Alex. He can't speak a word, but no words were needed were they? Aww.

    Oh, I like them ALL Betsy! I just might have to sneak in and watch Harry do his choir warm ups! HOW SWEET is that? Do you think he likes it?

    Kisses and fresh sheets AND a muffin? Sounds like a stellar week!

    Jill ~ yes, do pop in and listen. The aides tell me he loves it...and usually starts the warm-ups AFTER the choir has finished...like a solo! LOL! You just have to laugh. :)

    Lovely list - I'll settle for clean sheets and a kiss. I got the flush mended on the loo (john!) - no more flushing with a bucket - hurray!

    Betsy-what camera did you get?
    Aren't kisses like a balm that just soothes and lifts you up.
    Was your birthday on my anniversary-the 21st?
    Have a blessed weekend!

    I love the idea of half-full Friday! These days I think we all need to rethink the week and remind ourselves of the small things in life that really make the difference. Thanks for the reminder :)

    "Unsolicited sugars," that's what we call the kisses without asking... they are the best.

    Happy belated BD!

    Don't know how you manage to limit it to six as you must be one of the most optimistic "half full" people I have ever come across. Betsy, you are now my official role-model.
