Half full or half empty

It has not been an easy trip so far. My car overheated while I was driving home on Sunday morning after my going away party. I spent a better part of my day trying to get it to overheat again. It did not. So, instead of setting off on the first day of the rest of my life on Monday. I took my car to the shop and hung around Austin. It was a very good day. I mended some fences and watched a movie, then I drove out to the lake and watched the sunset. Although I'm very excited about what awaits me in Albuquerque, I'm sad to leave Austin. It's the first place I've ever lived where I have stepped off the airplane and truly been happy to be home, but that night, looking at the half empty lake, I firmly resolved to see the lake, and my life as half full, and to keep moving forward, even if for no other reason than it's too late to turn back now.
