Who are you? I think you are a very wise, kind, and thoughtful person, Ed. Merry Christmas and as gentle a New Year as is possible. Your family will be in my prayers.

My brother lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he works as a ski instructor. He has been up there for over forty years and he absolutely loves snow! I live in Florida as I love sunshine, warm temperatures, and swimming. We both have full glasses!

I am glad the OP is enjoying shoveling snow. I am enjoying playing pickle ball, swimming, and bicycling.

Your post reminded me of another perspective. It isn't really all about half full or half empty, but rather being grateful to have a glass! And it is true that positive thoughts attract more positive thoughts . The universal law is stated as " that which is like unto itself, is drawn", and so it is, whether positive or negative. The challenge is dealing with the unconscious thoughts and self talk that so often contradict our conscious thoughts and desires. It"s an inside job that lasts a lifetime, and can be really fun and exciting if you allow yourself to see it that way..... Just many choices and possible outcomes and surprises. Have a happy holiday season everyone, with or without snow!
