Half Empty or Half Full?

by Cheryl Merrick

Do I see the cup as half empty,
     Or half full?
Am I grateful for what I can do,
     Or am I resentful of my limitations?
Do I feel thankful for all the kind things
     My husband does for me,
     Or feel frustrated about what he doesn’t do?

Do I enjoy the goodness in my children,
     Or focus on their weaknesses?
Do I appreciate our friends and family,
     Or bemoan their failings?
Do I feel grateful for our home and possessions,
     Or am longing for still more?
Do I see the cup as half empty,
     Or half full?
