Dear Daughter,
There is a saying in life about a glass of water and how people will view it differently. If the glass contains one half of its potential amount, it is said that there are two ways to look at it.
Some, those whom people call "pessimists" will say that the glass is half empty, because they focus on what they don't have, not what they do.
Others, those called "optimists" will say that the glass is half full, because they focus on the fact that although you may not have everything, you still have some left. Or, that something is better than nothing.
However, I like to look at it a third way, as Papa often does, and to look at the pretty glass and be grateful that I have one at all.
Remember, there are many ways to look at things in the world, we can choose how we will do so, and that can change everything.
I Love You,
Papa
