Lester was a very useful cat. When my granddaughter Amelia asked for a hamster she was told "No, because Lester would eat it!". When she wanted a gerbil she was told "No, we can't have a gerbil or a rat or even a bird...Lester would eat them all!" So Amelia was convinced that her life would alway be just about Lester. But she is a very optimistic little girl so her cup was full to over flowing.

See this is the thing...when you are an optimist like Amelia the cup is always full. Life goes on even when the cat dies because there are hamsters and gerbils out there waiting to be adopted.
How is your day going? Is your cup half full or half empty?

Haha...I love her little optimism! It would make perfect sense to a 4-yr old, and even to this 68 yr old! My cup is almost always 1/2 full!

Last weekend was spent with my two nieces, almost 3 Taylor and 6 month old Mia. Their cup was overflowing as long as they were fed, watered and changed. The adults' cups mirrored the kids. :)
