Here We Go!!!

Today we are starting something new.  I'm taking my title from Oprah Winfrey on this her last day of her long running and much beloved afternoon talk show.  She uses that phrase every month in her magazine to launch her readers into magazine bliss.  It's a happy thought "here we go!"  We are leaping off into a new thing, a new adventure or just starting a new day.  I always said that to myself when I rode roller coasters.  I was at the top and the rush and the thrill was about to get started.  So it's an appropriate phrase to begin my next blog project.

Just a little mention of the title... The Half Full Glass.  This is me in a nutshell.  I used to live the half empty glass life.  It was a bummer to say the least.  It was hard to be happy in those days.  Thankfully I managed to change that up.  Whew.  When I think of the energy it took to live that way, it makes me a little sad.  I missed out on so much.  I was on medication and just had trouble getting through my day.  I lost the love of my life when I lived that way.  Thankfully, as I said that has all changed.  I got tired of being tired and negative.  It almost cost me my job at one point.  It's not easy to crawl out of that half empty glass, but when you do...oh my.  It's an amazing view!

So here we are now.  Jumping off into a new day.  Celebrating the Divine Miss O as she says "good bye for now."  Here we go Oprah, running off in a new direction with our half full glass.  Maybe we should plan to get together.  To sit on your big porch in Hawaii and smell the flowers or walk on the beach.  Two friends walking and chatting while the dogs run up and down.  Who knows where this adventure will lead us, but I can tell you one thing, our glass will always be half full, and we will be grateful for it!
Cheers!
