I have been challenged by LMo to write down the good things that have happened to me over the last 5-7 years. Seems that she thinks there is a "black cloud" over many of us this week and perhaps posting these things will help cheer us up. Damn LMo you are good.... just when I think I am at the end of my rope you have to pull this one.

OK, here goes.... good things....in my life over say last 5 years...

1. I have experienced much joy in coaching girls softball. Really threw myself into it and received so many wonderful complements from parents.
2. I have enjoyed my children, even if I don't get to see them as much as I would like. They are pretty cool kids and I am so very proud of them.
3. I learned a lot about myself and what I think is important in this life.
4. I have learned from my mistakes and I understand wht I would need to have a happy life.
5. I did meet a wonderful woman and shared a terrific friendship and learned perhaps for the first time what it felt like to be loved unconditionally.

OK LMo that's the best I can do for now. Others care to take a shot? Good things in your life over say last 5 years?
