I'm soooo lucky!

In this world of stress and never ending bad news it's easy to get bogged down and depressed, but I've just sat down and thought for 5 mins about how lucky I really am. I have 4 beautiful healthy, happy daughters, a wonderful wife, a loyal dog and a house and defender that (with the jobs that constantly need doing on them) can take my mind off even my biggest worries. I don't want to get all sentimental but I think I really need to take more time to appreciate what I have and to start the ball rolling I'd like to thank everyone on this site for keeping me entertained (and sane) with my motoring burden

this site really is full of wonderfull helpful people and that is the main reason I'm on here so often

Thanks again all

Ray

I have a loyal wife and a wonderful cat

Good on you - sometimes it's easy to forget the good things, and we "can't see the wood for the trees".

Happy Christmas

Likewise - I managed to fit in a few "charitable" acts this year, and yes it feels good...will try & do more in 2014 I think. Always nice to leave things better than when you found them

Only one daughter & a few dogs but your right we spend far too longer focusing on the negatives & not enough time focusing on the positives

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

I take it all back! The kids were trying to kill each other all yesterday evening, the dog kept trying to trip me up (on purpose I think) and the wife has invited her parents for Christmas dinner
