My favorite response to this question is…
My glass is always FULL because I pour into it from my barrel of reserve, which is always at least half full.
But then,
I am one of those “Sappy-wappy, mushy-ushy Poly-Anna†types.
Yeah, that means my heart gets deflated quite often, but with my Lord as my defribulator it gets pumped right back up and then to replenish, I just take another sip from my always full glass…cause I just poured into it again from that reserve barrel that is always at least half-full. Then I give my thanks to my Lord for every single drop.
Glass, cup, bowl, palm of my hand...whatever's handy at the time that I would need a sip to quench m'thirst.
Sometimes I even find a need to just take a drink straight from the barrel.
Although I try, hard as I might to hold true to my "realistic" side, often my "idealistic" side will win me over. Thankfully, I have my hubby (also very optimistic
, but more of a "realist" than me
) to hold my feet to the ground, else I'd surely drift to the clouds wayyyy up yonder.
