The Kindness of Looking on the Bright Side

"I do believe we're all connected.  I do believe in positive energy.  I do believe in the power of prayer.  I do believe in putting good out into the world.  And I believe in taking care of each other."
― Harvey Fierstein

I have a very special mom friend who always makes me feel better.  I finally asked her the other day, "Are you a glass half full kind of person?"  Yes, she answered.

I don't know if it is being a glass half-full kind of person only, but I frequently amazed -- pleasantly, of course -- by her responses to situations.  With a can-do attitude, she makes you feel that you can do, too.  She has an enthusiasm for life that is nothing less than contagious.  Whether she is talking about a recipe or an adventure, her positive energy is ever-present.  If anyone begins to mope about a situation, she will spotlight the bright side until you see it, too.  And her problem-solving skills are beyond compare.  She is funny and warm and a great friend, and her kindness in seeing the positive and sharing that freely leaves a trail of good energy in her wake.
