Default Glass 1/2 full or 1/2 empty?
Which are you?

I'm a glass 1/2 empty person...now before you start booing and hissing there are some benefits to being what I would call grounded and realistic.

I'm hyper-vigilent in making sure I don't leave anything to chance. I rarely do denial and that helps me get things done. I'm also not often disappointed when things turn to crud because in the back of my mind I kind of expect it.

The downside would be that I'm only moderately content in this lifetime because I see the world as kind of harsh.

I am a glass is 1/2 full kinda gal.

I too leave little to chance, and make sure my bases are covered. I hope for the best, but prepare for the worst, then celebrate when it was somewhere inbetween the two.

some days its harder to look on the bright side, but most days I manage it.

I'm the glass 1/2 full but my husband is the glass 1/2 empty so I don't know what that makes us as a couple. I guess one that is prepared most of the time!

I'm always, always glass half full. There's just no point in being any other way! (At least for me.)
