i’m sure the only thing you are waiting for is for the coffee pot to be done, correct?

Life seems to go in waves, don’t stress it if it happens.
Otherwise, congrats on the good fortune!

Miles on your body maybe, but never too much good.

I wake up each day hoping for and expecting the very best of everything. I know that is unrealistic but I only have one life to live and I make the very best of whatever I have and what I’m given.

I don’t put an amount on only how much good I might have in my life because, since the glass is always half full, my optimism levels are always high and I don’t set or let there be any boundaries to all the good I want in my life.

No way. It just keeps getting better and better. :)

IMO everything seems to consistently move back to being neutral or central. I don’t believe that there is only so much good in your life, but whatever good there is, typically gets counter-balanced by the bad.

I have absolutely felt this way. things are way too good. The other shoe is about to drop. Fact is, the shoe never drops on it’s own accord. Generally I let it dangle and then I let it drop. I have spent hours worrying about shit I have no control over and then decide to take control. I force the shoe off before it can drop. Some stuff you just cant’ have control over. Someone dies when you ‘ve been having a great day. Sucks for both of you.

I don’t think the good tank ever gets full to the point that it can’t accept any more good. However, life is never all good. The other shoe will drop, sometime. It’s ok. More good will come, too.

The shoe will drop, that’s life. The best part is that it can only get better from there. hopefully

With all of the crap that I’ve already gone through, it’s about time!

Everything in life is a dichotomy.

You cannot truly experience happiness without the ‘shoe’ of sadness as a comparison.

You cannot appriciate feeling well if you have have never been sick.

You cannot appriciate the sun without the moon, night without day, youth without age, feeling full without hunger, on & on…..and thank god it is this way, dichotomies give meaning to every experience where without the polar opposite there would be no true experience.

Go with the flow and don’t borrow trouble, enjoy what is in the moment! ;-)
