Day 2- the meaning behind you blog name

I am not the most positive person I know.  I get easily discouraged.  Although my faith teaches me that through God all things are possible, I often feel God has over looked me.  I usually feel as if my glass is half empty.  But someone once told me if I want to feel better I must first act as if I feel better, pretend if you will.  "Fake it 'till you make it"....so I do.  I say that my glass is half empty but my blog says that "Stef's glass is half full".
