Life Is Good

I think it's natural we all feel a bit down on life with all we read in the paper, watch on TV and even experience first hand. Business IS down for many of us, restaurants we like to eat at might be going out of business or at least not have long lines as they once did, stores (sometimes HUGE corporations) we enjoy shopping at are going bankrupt and in general there is a feeling of doom and gloom in the air. The SacTownGuy though is feeling good about life!

This morning I received an email from a friend of mine which had about 15 photos of amazing things in mother nature. There were animals, pictures of the sky, pictures of snow, mountains, etc.... At the conclusion of the email it simply said, "LIFE IS GOOD." You know what? Life really IS good! I don't know about you but I have a job! I get paid good money. That's good.

My firm employs other people so they have jobs. We just gave our annual raises and gave pretty much what we have given in past years. Good for our employees!

I drive a new car. Sure it's only a four cylinder Honda Accord but it's new!

I hit 200 on my Facebook "friends" last week. How lucky am I to even know that many people that are willing to call me their friend!?

My baseball team is going to the playoffs. Good for them!

This past Sunday I went for a two hour bike ride at sunrise. I was up on top of a small mountain watching the sun rise. The ride was great, the sunrise so pretty in that crisp morning air and then I went to the Pimp House for breakfast. Not much of a better way to start a day than that!

My wife is beautiful and keeps our house running smoothly. I feel very lucky to be married to such a great life partner.

My son is proud to be growing big muscles and six pack abs with his work at gymnastics and soccer. It really couldn't be cuter... especially when he flexes his muscles in the bathroom mirror. He's all of 5 years old so it's pretty funny. Oh wait, I think I just heard him yell that he is five AND A HALF!

My daughter is excited to wear her ballet outfit anytime we will let her... be it to ballet class, gymnastics class, or neither. At 4 years old she smiles about some pretty Small stuff and laughs at ALL my jokes! She's not the best ballerina or gymnast in the world but she is the cutest! How good I have it!

People actually read my blog. I track the numbers and more of you are reading each week. How cool, eh!?

Bottom line: LIFE IS GOOD. Look for your good stuff!
