I don't want this to be a competition for who has it best. I just want this to be a hurray and thankful thread...

The competition that comes in is that i'm making another thread called "It sucks to be me" . Both of these threads are being created at the same time. Let's see which thread winds up bigger... The positive or the negative. Are we complainers or thankers?

I pray you do not fill this thread with too much off topic conversation, as that skews the results.

Celebrate away!
 
kicking it off...

I'm going camping this weekend at a fire arts convention, then next month i'll be at a regional burning man event with my mommy. Towards the end of december i'm going on a disney cruise with my family, and then in january with luck i'll be doing a community service trip in the dominican republic.
 
Other than "I'm a well fed western resource hogging chick in her early 30's with a roof over her head...." platitudes --

I get laid regularly and well.

The prednisone swelling is gone and my hair grew back.

I'm making hip handcrafted jewelry by the bucketloads.

I can tweak CSS fairly well.

And I'm putting a giant slab of dead cow in the slow cooker today. It's nice out, too.
 
Just to keep it even

This really is a great idea.

Expect many contributions from me in the future.
 
Although I haven't accomplished a whole lot of things in life, what I have accomplished is all that matters.

I am in a loving relationship, my parents take care of me and family is an important thing for me.

I got through a year of university just to decide it wasn't for me and I can take pictures that look pretty damn good.

Also I have a nice ass... in my opinion.
 
I'm married to a man I love.

I have three wonderful healthy children.

I get to take care of other people's children.

I'm finally at a church where it's ok that I'm not a churchy person.

I'm finally loosing my prednisone weight, and regaining my health.

more to come . . .
 
i have great friends

i love the geographic area im in (its so pretty)

im in a great relationship, despite the fact that its a long distance one

i woke up this morning before my alram clock went off feeling bright and awake, had time to eat breakfast before i left, and had a generally good day
 
My sis did very well on the exam she took today, and it was a pretty big one and she was a nerve-rack for weeks before.
The weather is nice and summer-y again after an awful, grey, autumn-y august.
 
I have a kitty on my lap. Not just any kitty but the sweetest, most loving, silkiest, most people centered kitty in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD.

And books, I have TONS of books from the library all waiting for me to pick them up and stroke them and love them!

I have a job that I often lately don't want to go to. Even on days when I'm feeling like crap though I go and get hugs there. I get audience energy and joy radiating back to me. It fills me up and makes me feel GREAT!

I have a wonderful husband who not only loves me, which can many soooo many things, many of them not healthy but LIKES and RESPECTS me!

I have two healthy smart kids who I enjoy so much.

I have an online Dom that allows me to get something I MUST have in my life and is a wonderful person all around.

I get to go on a trip soon and hopefully recoup from a very, very busy time.

I have an empty bladder that doesn't not require I get up right now!

*L*

There's more but that's more than enough IMO. I'm feeling all giddy/silly! Woot!!!

I think it's very good to be me for many reasons, and those reasons out weigh any negative parts of my life. True enough i get stessed out and frustrated be somethings in my life but it's all worth it for the good stuff in life. One of the biggest reasons why it is good to be is the women who i find sleping next to me most nights, because of her i'm the luckiest guy in the world. I can also see the end of my education coming in the futur and i am slowly bringing my level of fitness up to where i want to be.
 
I went to two Alanon meetings tonight and it was wonderful. They both were of topics totally relavent to me and my life right now. I've done a lot of things that scare me in the last few weeks.
 
I woke up this morning (every day above ground is a good day right?)

Its a gorgeous sunny day.

I have a job that pays well.

Its entirely possible that if I get off my ass and make a few things happen I can be living my dreams on my own terms.
 
I discovered late last night, that someone I thought I'd Lost, never really went Away.

I really do enjoy my business, and I'm damned good at it.

A client (Friend) and her husband have decided the want to meet me- they're giving me an expenses paid trip out to Sonoma County in the spring. :)

I no longer work for the idiot.

My children are happy and thriving in their new home.

Nothing has ended up the way I thought it would, but that's okay.
 
I have a great job. I get paid a good amount of money for doing very little work, and the rest of the time I can goof off on the Internet. I don't have to take any of my work home pretty much ever, and I'm only responsible for a very small amount of paperwork. And I'm working in a field I always dreamed of getting to work in. My co-workers leave me alone 98% of the time, which I like. Yes, I do love my job.
 
I'm on the correct side of the grass!

I'm getting better!

I have a job waiting for me when the doc's release me to go back to work, and even if I didn't, I will probably be having a 2nd interview for a new (and hopefully better job) before I get released to return to work.

Now, just to give you an idea about how good I think my chances are for the new (and better) job:
1 - The initial interview went well OVER 1 hour!
2 - The day after I had my heart attack, they called me for a second interview, and my ex-wife's husband let them know I was in the hospital...
3 - The day I came home from the hospital after the quad bypass, I called them, to let them know I was still interested but I understood if they had already filled the position.
4 - The VP I did the initial interview with said the position was still open and to call them back when I was feeling up to the second interview! ! !

I live with and love the woman who wears my collar, janey, and can't imagine not growing old with her. She gets along well with both of my adult children, and we're able to be out with our families.

How good is that????? :nana: :nana: :nana:

I'm going to see Adam Green tonight (singer/guitarist most here probably haven't heard of. He's awesome, though :) )

I've been losing weight steadily and am getting my body back. My, how I've missed it. Feels so damn good to look in the mirror and like what you see.

While I don't know if I'd call myself happy, I'm not unhappy. There are things in my life I want to change - but I'm working on changing them :)

So many good things have happened to me this past year, and it all started happening when I started to believe that it could happen, and that I'm worthy of it happening to me.

I've come to terms with losing someone really close to me. I never thought I'd say that, but it's true.

one more: I'm eating lowfat chocolate yogurt, and it really is damn good :)
 
Good stuff hmm....

I'm finally with my master 24/7!!

I have three really cute dogs to take care of during the day

2 great room mates

and since i'm in South Cali... the sun couldn't be brighter! :D
 
I'm clean and sober.

My husband adores me.

My kids love me.

I have two prospects for a job, at least.
 
I won my big audition!

And in case you haven't noticed my gloating, I have the best Dom in the whole world.

Moreover, I think I have just negotiated outsourcing a large part of my grunt work for the next few months.

Yay!

I can truly say it has never sucked to be me.

My life has its ups and downs, but the so what? I am grateful for all I have, all I have ever had, and all I will have.
