Five positive things...

[annwfyn]

I've decided that instead of moping about this week, I'm going to post up five things that are good and positive and I should be happy to have in my life right now.

1) I have a fantastic boyfriend who I love to pieces. He looks after me when I'm wibbling, he calms me down when I'm insane, and I get to go to sleep with him hugging me every single night. It's been two years now, and I really don't think there's ever been a moment where I don't feel lucky to have him in my life.

2) I have a great family, who are supportive without being suffocating. They are incredibly tolerant of all my eccentricity, and have been incredibly patient with the inordinate length of time I've taken pottering around, trying to find out what I want to do with my life.

3) I've got two cats which I adore - Madoc and Myrddin - and they've even stopped sh*tting on the kitchen floor of late.

4) Over a year on, I'm still deeply chuffed at the results of my breast reduction surgery. The scarring is pretty much invisible now, I'm able to run, job, and even do star jumps. I can buy pretty lingerie in everywhere except BHS (which only goes up to a D cup) and I've gone from the girl who hated her bust, to someone who has complete confidence in that particular area of her anatomy. I feel healthier than ever before.

5) I'm 28 years old. I'm young, I'm healthy, and I live in a first world country. I'm financially stable and I've got an entire life ahead of me. At the end of the day, there is pretty much nothing short of death or dismemberment that I can't get over and start again from. And in that, I'm pretty damn lucky.

And I shall try and remember all that today.

Please never take any of that for granted.

I'm sure you missed out about 5 things from that list... You missed out at least "A wonderful person" and "Insufferably cute". Ah well... hope your spate of the universe trying to even the scales clears up soon.

And cats are important

You should probably try and remember that most days.

Though my eyes skipped down this post a bit as I was reading it, and I saw

2) I have a great family, and they've even stopped sh*tting on the kitchen floor of late.

I had to double-take on that.

The kind of strange things that people can derive mood improvements from... o_0;

But then I find the whole world a strange and alien place most of the time, and one might have thought after my own 22 years on it I might have got used to it. Nothing ever makes much sense...
...'Cept the incredibly welsh-named kitties. ^_^ ... Thas so cute.
