things that make me happy

i was depressed last night, but i already spoke to my older sister and my mom. i know how my mom feels already, but what's more important is that my sister and i have told her how we feel and how she might be able to teach my siblings a lesson in life.

anyway, last night, i was thinking of things that make me happy. i've come up with a few things:
1. i have real friends who stick with me through thick and thin
2. i have my own business and i pretty much own my time
3. i'm doing good in my own business
4. i have a clean conscience because i am not hiding anything or lying to anyone
5. i have never resorted or even thought about exchanging sexual favors for material things
6. i am able to help people in my own little way
7. i am not that apathetic
8. i am blessed with wonderful nieces
9. i am blessed with a wonderful girlfriend
10. i am not dependent on artificial substances. (i've been cigarette free for over a week now, and counting)
11. i see the world in a clearer light than i used to
12. i have been given the courage to face the world head on
13. i have a real way of helping people with the training i've received
14. i am not a slave to my office
15. i have a wonderful mother who's always there to help me and be behind me in all my decisions.
16. my relationship with my older sister is getting better
17. i don't have B.O. (read: body odor) because i've been brought up with wonderful hygiene

the list actually goes on... i guess these little things i have to think about more often ;)
