I have something to admit. I'm afraid to put good things up here. There are so many people out there who want me to fail and be unhappy that I don't want to fan any coals by saying I'm happy. I'm happier now than I have been in years. Odd huh? I think so. I mean I get annoyed and bitter on occasion but overall I'm good. Here are some reasons:

2 life long friends I have only begun to appreciate. Thanks Greg and Windy.

I'm making friends that could last a lifetime.

I'm thinner than I have been since high school.

I've been lifting some weights. Not to bulk up, but to remove "extra space" after losing all that weight. So far so good.

Win or lose, I'm doing the things I've wanted to do.

I have my mother near me.

Jenny is happy. Believe it or not that makes me feel better and loosens up some tension.

I've found several places to get drink and dance (and occasionally sing) at a cheap price.

I'm having a good hair month. There are more but I'm drawing a blank. Maybe I'll add more later.
