Good News!
Are you in need of good news? Between global economies and local job markets, I know I am. If you have some good news or blessings, share them. Please!
1) It did not snow today!
2) The snow is still everywhere, but it's mostly plowed. So, it's pretty out!
3) A very close friend of mine is back in school with a stipend - a great way to make it through a lean season. I'm truly happy and proud for him.
4) My dad recently retired, and my mother has a stable job that she wants to stay in for a few more years before she retires too. They're safe in tough times, my dad gets his life back, and honestly our relationship is closer now than it ever was.
5) I'm going to see my brother in just a few days, if not sooner. I have missed him very badly and I look forward to bear-hugging him.
6) Speaking of relatives, my brother's girlfriend (or something more...?) is flying in for New Year's! I can't wait to meet her.
7) We just got a very fun card game called Dominion and I'm excited to play it with my own girlfriend soon.
8) I made a friend recently, a web developer in Lansing who has a very well-established business. He gave me a lead for some work - it doesn't pay, but it's for a very good cause. A little seven-year-old boy with cerebral palsy, numerous airborn allergies, and an esophagal dysfunction needs donation money to cover some of his medical bills. I'm working with an HVAC contracting company and Make-A-Wish to do it. It's exciting, and I'm so glad to be working for a good cause for someone else's Christmas.
9) I have this little cat who destroys Christmas ornaments and chews the hell out of electric cables - but every day he follows me around and sits next to me. He can't stand to be away from me. It's comforting.
10) I'm going to see many friends over the course of, let's see... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 parties in the next two weeks!
Share good news if you got it.
