IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
What do you see? Do you see the glass half full or the glass half empty? I believe seeing the glass half full = limitless possibilities in life. SEEING THE GLASS HALF FULL Weird; but I keep thinking about the Limbo. When I was a kid, we used to do the Limbo all the time. It was such a dance craze and so much fun.
