Half Full: Meditations on Hope, Optimism and the Things That Matter
Half Full is an invitation to take a pause. To sit still for a minute, put your feet up, and drink in the words and pictures that can replenish your soul and help you to recognize your many blessings. With 42 photographs of everyday objects looked at from different angles, plus quirky, original meditations about looking on the lighter side. These mini essays are based on quotations from wise teachers throughout history such as Helen Keller, Dolly Parton, Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, Emily Dickinson, Katharine Hepburn, and the author's greatgrandmother. And each and every one includes a tidbit of food for thought, a piece of advice, or something to do, such as 'Look for an opportunity in a difficulty that's been dogging you.' Isn't it time to give up that halfempty glass?

A Perfect Gift
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
What a place the world will be when we all look at our life experience as being half full! I gave this book to my children and my husband for Christmas and since have ordered it in quantities for my Gift Cupboard. The messages are pertinent, but not preachy. Significant, but not heavy. Uplifting, but not schmaltzy. This little book makes a perfect gift for friends, teachers, clients, co-workers and family.....it will speak to anyone looking for a positive lift.
A Lovely Book!

I received this beautiful book as a Christmas gift from the woman who sits next to me in our department. It was so on-target with who I am and what I'm dedicated to achieve in my life...I felt she was Divinely inspired to purchase it for me. The tidbits are thought-provoking and inspiring. I'm sharing it today in a class I'm teaching on "Live Your Best 2008!"
A lovely gift book for any who would impart a sense of wonder to others.

HALF FULL is more than just another book of admonitions: it offers up a series of 42 photos of everyday objects which incorporate elements of the extraordinary, inviting readers to take the time to look and make these discoveries. Images accompany essays, meditations and sidebar quotes from such luminaries as Helen Keller, George Bernard Shaw, and Emily Dickinson, and offer a lovely gift book for any who would impart a sense of wonder to others.
