My glass is at least half full

George Washington channeling the Buddha ...

In a letter to Robert Steward on April 27, 1763, George Washington wrote: "Human affairs are always checkered and vicissitudes in this life are rather to be expected than wondered at".

I like to think I see a half-filled glass as half full not half empty ... supposedly a positive outlook. Another quote that I saw the other day is something like this.

"Let us try to see things from their better side:
You complain about seeing thorny rose bushes;
Me, I rejoice and give thanks to the gods
That thorns have roses."

This quote is attributed to Alphonse Karr, a French journalist, and author from his book "Letters written from my garden."
