After focusing on personal, societal, and planet problems most of my life, I'm thinking and feeling at two-thirds empty. I'm clawing my way to "half."

With the black cloud our family has over it, no matter HOW HARD any of us try, it always goes badly...

Always half full! Blessings abound if we will look more at what we have than at what we do not have or simply want. If one cannot see their blessings, look around. Half empty=negative focus.

I look for the positive in most situations. If I feel unhappy about something I do something about it.

Not a glass in the universe big enough to hold all the goodness.

Drink the remainder in one quaff; and ask the bartender to refill the glass in celebration of the New Year.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
