Thread Name: Today was a good day
Subject: RE: Today was a good day
I have never been very good at counting my blessings - I've always taken stuff like that for granted. But your post made me smile, Jerry, and brought tears to my eyes.   If someone else can do that to me, I wonder what would happen to me if I did it....and maybe someone else would like it too.   So here goes:

I am alive, healthy, reasonably fit and not too fat
I have a beautiful intelligent & lively 6 (almost 7) year old daughter
My soon-to-be-ex-wife doesn't hate me (much)!
I have recently started a close relationship with a fine woman who makes me smile.
My job is secure, safe, clean and reasonably well-paid - and when I try I can do it well.
I have a good, strong voice and enjoy singing.   Other people enjoy it too!
A friend whom we though was dying seems to be recovering from cancer.
In middle age I seem to have found out how to make friends - and the Mudcat has helped this enormously!
All the stuff in my house works and I only have a small damp patch on the wall.
My car just keeps going (179 000 miles now)
I have enough to eat and drink and money to afford it.
The sun rises every day.
