I'm soooo lucky!
In this world of stress and never ending bad news it's easy to get bogged down and depressed, but I've just sat down and thought for 5 mins about how lucky I really am. I have 4 beautiful healthy, happy daughters, a wonderful wife, a loyal dog and a house and defender that (with the jobs that constantly need doing on them) can take my mind off even my biggest worries. I don't want to get all sentimental but I think I really need to take more time to appreciate what I have and to start the ball rolling I'd like to thank everyone on this site for keeping me entertained (and sane) with my motoring burden Rolling with laughter this site really is full of wonderfull helpful people and that is the main reason I'm on here so often Thumbs Up
Thanks again all Thumbs Up

I have a loyal wife and a wonderful cat Smile

Good on you - sometimes it's easy to forget the good things, and we "can't see the wood for the trees".

Happy Christmas Thumbs Up

Likewise - I managed to fit in a few "charitable" acts this year, and yes it feels good...will try & do more in 2014 I think. Always nice to leave things better than when you found them Smile Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

I take it all back! The kids were trying to kill each other all yesterday evening, the dog kept trying to trip me up (on purpose I think) and the wife has invited her parents for Christmas dinner Shocked Rolling with laughter
