Reasons To Be Cheerful

#1 Unread post by mogster »

Let's have a good news thread. :)


1) Just finished another set of nights & have 4 days off. My fella also has days off at the same time! :D

2) Tis a glorious day here in Dorset & at only 10am it must be 18 degrees already. :sun:

3) The forecast is hot & dry all weekend
:thumbsup:

4) Just been e chatting with daughter ¤2 who is in Oz & having a blast. Can't believe she is already 1/2 way thru her round the world trip already!

5) Will be spending some time with daughter ¤1 over w/e. :clapping:

6) Pay is in bank so I can pretend to be solvent for a few days. :lol:

So can anyone add some positive news? :sunshine:

Hmmm, like Hondagirl and Gummiente, everyone on this forum is still alive. That's always worth being happy about.

Everyone here is literate. There are about a billion people who aren't.

Everyone here can read and write in English. A bit less than 5 billion people can't. (Not that English is better or worse than any other language. As someone whose first language isn't English, I'm just happy to have access to the majority of the content on the internet, for better or worse).

Everyone here has internet access, for that matter. Around 4 billion don't.

Come to think of it, everyone here has electricity. 1/4 of humanity doesn't.

Everyone here has - or is interested in getting - a motorcycle. Whenever I'm in a cr@ppy mood or situation, I think, "I've got a bike!" and everything immediately feels a lot better.

I probably don't have to "WORK" tonight. I'll more than likely be exercising my right to strike while on picket duty. Yes, this is good news, it means we'll be finally on our way to, maybe, resolving some serious issues in our contract...

In no particular order...

1) It's Friday!
2) The sun is shining, and is supposed to shine all weekend.
3) I'm finally getting over my bronchitis.
4) My oldest son will be home on leave... soon... (not soon enough for mom! ;))
5) It's payday, so I too can pretend to be solvent for a few days.
