When it comes to the analogy of “the glass is half full or have empty,” which one do you refer to? Many may say it has nothing to do with being an optimist or pessimist it has to do with how you see life.

"It’s periwinkle blue…”
“No, I’m pretty sure it’s grey blue….”
When it comes to colors, are we seeing true color or what we’ve been conditioned to see? In other words, if over the years you’ve been told the sky is powder blue, but a friend states it’s a baby blue, who’s right?

But for many, color is not the same as others.

But many times, even abiding by the above, the flu may find it’s way into your system either way. Today, the flu shot doesn’t even seem to help counteract the many flu strains working their way through schools, businesses, and public domains.

Have you ever had those debates with friends or family on what a word means? Such as the word respect, love, or power.

Have you heard the saying; “The holidays seem to really bring the best out in many and they seem more caring.” We all have a big heart and giving and caring is something we are born with.
