Post a reason you are happy today itt

[dadevvtsvre]

In times like these, it's easy to be caught up in negativity and start feeling depressed. A lot of things are wrong in this world, and it's hard to remember that there's a whole lot of good things in our lives, even if we don't realize it. So let's take this opportunity to share at least one reason we are happy to be alive, today.

This is Canada Day weekend and, coincidentally, my first week of summer vacation. I'm working very long shifts on one of the busiest grocery-weekends on the year. It's hard work and I'm always incredibly tired by the end of the day. Sometimes it's very easy for me to wish I never had to go back to work again.

But I often forget that I'm 18, and in a place where the recession has hit very hard, have a job. Many of my friends are desperately searching for employment, as well as hundreds of other people where I live that would gladly take my job. I'm making only minimum wage but it's a paycheck nonetheless, and I should be grateful for being employed.

What's one thing you're happy about today?

i have a puppy to come home to. :> :> :>
(despite the fact that she likes to paint poop murals all over our bathroom everyday ... she'll get over it!)

i have to work all weekend long and don't get paid overtime, but i can look at my bank account and sigh relief at the number, so whee

nice thread! ITT: optimism

Nice contrasting there, Dev.

Hm, picked up a few older games I wanted to check out yesterday and have been playing them today. Finally installed a shelf in my bathroom, so now I can store toiletries somewhere other than under the sink pipes. My Dad is back home after being away on work and we all went out for Mexican food. Also my brother and sister-in-law and niece are coming up this weekend. Can't wait to see the family again.

I'm in college right now with no debt except for government loans, and not much more than that. I have only 4 hours of class a day (atm, will have 16 hours this fall). I've got games (mainly LoL) I play with friends everynight.
My parents love me, despite my whole idiot teenage I hate them thing going on (still is, mainly for dad, but we'll see how that fares in a decade). I've got support from family. I know a lot of stuff, have infinite food every day the dining hall is open, and have one of the best collegiate athletic centers 3 minutes by walking from me.

I've never been homeless, I've rarely been sick with anything particularly outstanding, I've been in car crashes but usually escape with barely any injuries, and my future is almost limitless, particularly with the free time I have to invest into projects. I've had 3 girlfriends. I am learning.

I'm not exactly normal but more average, and due to that I've little reason to be unhappy.

Let's see... today I'm happy because I've just finished work, that's a good thing to be happy about, right? Although I have to go in tomorrow... but only for 4 hours, and then I get 3 days off, that makes me happy too!

I suppose I could also be happy that I'm not dead... yet. With all the stuff I've done in my life and how I eat and whatever else I'm surprised I'm how I am now... y'know... alive, not in a ditch dead somewhere.

But why am I REALLY happy? I has lots of pennies and vidyah gaemz...

... Oh also, I've never had any STD's yet.

I am happy because the olympic torch is running through my city tomorrow.

I know a lot of people don't care about the olympics, and I would normally agree, but everybody is so cheered up by it, the streets have been made to look really nice.

I will be going, also going to see Blue Peter in the park, and Scifest at the University, because fuck I think it's time I gave in and took part in these things.

Good weekend ahead, aunt's 65th too (free booze w/e), ~~~~

The Olympic Torch ran through my tiny town of 5000 people on a cold night in December 2009. It was pretty awesome! Everybody showed up to see it go by.

I'm happy today because I've gone back on dextroamphetamine sulfate instead of adderall!! WOOOOO I feel like a million bucks!!!
I don't know why it's such a MASSIVE difference since they share most of the same ingredients/etc., but the difference is HUUUUUGGGEEEE

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

could only find a store that had 80, instead of the 180 I need, so I have to take a lower dosage than I'd like, but fuck it I don't care, it's been like 8 months since I've had this shit
/me rolls around on the ground

I just carried a 4v5 game with a total KDA of 33/9/5. I'm raging a lot at the leaver, but I'm really elated at being able to do so.

i taught Ripley "down" :3

also sam & i have finally realized that we're nearing Blackwatch:Plaid on our savings for moving to the west coast. meaning that we're almost there.

been working on my portfolio so i can apply to some jobs in Portland. i think i really want to lose web design forever and just be a draftsman. er, draftswoman. atleast until i go back to school. but i really rather like drafting.

just got back from Tahoe :!:
apart from being an incredible adventure (we went hiking, camping, paddleboating, tubing, and relaxing on the beach), the trip made me realize how I have amazing friends. Being able to laugh and make s'mores and climb over logs and joke around together with people you love is one of the best things in the world~
