GLADDENING GLASSES

[105a middle] Gemarah: There is a debate as to whether focus should be given on what was done in the past [ie: an act of stealing an item (which one would be held responsible to return)], OR what current state the item is existing as [ie: an item that is not currently worth a minimum amount of a Perutah (which would not necessitate a returning of it)].

D-E-ep Thoughts: How we view life and circumstances are actually a matter of mindset. Just as we can choose to view the glass half-empty or half-full, we can strive to see positivity and blessings everywhere around us, instead of focusing on what we are missing.
