The Good News Thread

[Writer]

Hello. I thought it might be enriching to make a good news thread.

My good news of the week:

- Kicked ass on the GRE after months of studying
- Had friends over on Thursday evening for the first time in a month
- Mr. Writer showed me his studliness
- Received a rejection letter for a manuscript with a HANDWRITTEN note on it
- Discovered how far I can go now that I have support in my life
- Finally, after 15 years, uncovered the mystery of the 30-60-90 triangle and the 45-45-90 triangle - those little things that evaded me when I was too distracted to study properly in middle and high school
- Felt JOY this week!


You?

6. That sounds like a totally amazing week.

I am very glad to hear that you're getting love, support, reinforcement, and encouragement.

I'm sorry about the rejection but I'm glad your writing is good enough to warrent a personal response. That's a very good sign.

:woohoo:
I hope you have many more good thing continue to happen. And I hope you share it with us so we can enjoy it vicariously.

7. My dear Writer!

Now your week sounds wonderful!

Biggo congrats, sweetie!

My week has been pretty good too...

I finished my poetry final exam ahead of schedule!

I have felt joy too!

I'm getting very positive feedback on my poetry, both here and in my class!

I was able to figure out (all by myself, too) how to edit a pic on my computer!

It's been a good week, and next week should be even better...

:hug:

8. Kicking for the evening crowd....

It wasn't a bad week, in spite of the weather. We had a 2-hour delay on Thurs. Yippee! Best day of the week.

And my family and friends all remembered my birthday, although I was trying to "forget" it. ;)

Best of all, I finished my Christmas shopping! Yeehaw!

Congrats on doing so well on the GRE! :applause:

13. An ex-boyfriend of mine (who remains a good friend) once told me

that "some days, you just have to remember that you woke up on the right side of the grass, and be thankful for that." :hug: Good words of advice, I think. :hi:

[Redstone]

14. Excellent advice, indeed.

I have survived cancer for over 20 years.
I have a great relationship with my children.
I have a warm home.
My husband loves me.
I have been sober for over 23 years.
