Yes I do. I’ve had some ‘ups and downs’ but really I’m having a great life. Even the bad things weren’t all bad and good came from them. My parents both died well before they should have but they were great people who for the time they had with me, did a great job and left me with good values and feeling very loved. Some nasty things happened to me in my youth, but I’ve learned from them and more importantly, I’ve survived and I’m not beaten.
I had a bad marriage, but I now have three incredible children. They are happy, funny, intelligent, kind and healthy people. Sure they’ve done things that have had me tearing my hair out but so they should. They’re out there living their lives and travelling on their life road.
I have a brilliant husband. I thank my lucky stars every day for having him in my life. Smart, funny, caring and kind and damn sexy… my married life is GOOD!
I work way too hard. However, I work way too hard at a job that I actually do love. I get shitty about the amount of work sometimes but there are so many people in a queue behind me who won’t ever get the job I have. I know the work I do is valued by my bosses and my students. They could pay me more but far out, I’m off to Canada in a couple of months and they’re paying! My job has a lot of perks.
I get to travel on occasions, I have a nice house (not a flash house), I have money in the bank. I’m healthy. I’m still learning every day.
Life is good. I love it and I hope I have a lot more of it to come. I just need to spend more time reflecting on how good it is!
