I’ve been thinking lately about everything I have going well for me in my life. Good friends, loving family, a sweet girlfriend, and now, a good job. So, since I’m currently spending the last weekend before I start my new job visiting my girlfriend (who would rather I spend my time obsessing over her than over my blog), I thought I would list a few things in this world that make me content. Not merely happy or joyful, but satisfied with my life and the way it’s worked out so far. Some of the things that satisfy me in this way:
My Family – An endless source of support, encouragement, and love, my family is always there for me. They are sweet and wonderful, and if it weren’t for all the support my mother has given me over the years, I would have turned out much differently (and probably much, much, MUCH worse). My family is just fantastic.
My Fiancee – She’s sweet, she’s cute, she’s adorable, and she shares my sense of humor (crazy though it is). Why else would she let me call her a hamster as a term of endearment? (I’d share the story, but I think she’d more than a little upset if I share anything else). In short, I love her, I adore her, and I want to be with her all the time. My biggest qualm with getting a new job is that it pulled me away from her; but hopefully, when she finishes school, things will be different.
Work – I am happy that I’ve found a new job. I like to keep busy, to make myself a useful part of society, and now with my new job, I’ll have that opportunity again. The fact that I am going to working in the vaccine field is all the better, as I’ll be able to help society as I earn a living. Talk about a good deal!
My friends – I’m blessed in life to have a great deal of people that I call friends in this world. There’s a good chance, if you’re reading this, that you fall within the realm of people that I consider as friends; some of the most interesting and funny people that I know I’ve met online (see the entry on my fiancee, for a stunning example). As they say (or should, if I’m not remembering an actual quotation), ‘friends are the sprinkles on the sundae of life’, and boy, are they tasty!
Everything else – Alright, a little bit of a cop out; I could break things down even more, I suppose. I have the joy of living in a country where I can express my views freely, where I can say and do (almost) everything I want. I am reasonably healthy, have a long life ahead of me, and enough money available that I don’t have to worry about struggling for food or shelter in order to survive. For all the complaining I sometimes do, there’s really nothing wrong with the life of Roger
When all is said and done, I lead a very full life. Thanks everyone for reading, and have a great weekend if I don’t get to tell you personally!
