Wend - no probs :-D

Some years ago I had a drunken debate with a close friend Re: if you could change anything that has happened in your life would you? (courtesy of George Michael's Careless Whisper)

My answer was no...I think everything happens for a reason & makes you the person you are. There are a lot of things that have happened that I'd rather hadn't but because of them I have met some amazing people & made friends who I can't imagine life without. I prefer to think the bad stuff makes you stronger otherwise you're left festering in a corner-not good
I'm glad I kick myself up the butt & if I havent got the energy someone will do it for me.We live in a wonderful world-we just have to remember to look out at it, not in at ourselves all the time :-)

All together now :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I'm feelin' (glad all over)..stomp stomp.....
Yes, I'm-a (glad all over)
Baby, I'm (glad all over)
So glad you're mine :-D :-D :-D

and im glad i have a fit friend, who can do the sports relief shcool mile with him tomrow :-D :-D :-D :-D

OH called me into the garden to see about a dozen ladybirds ahh I lov'em :-) sign of a good summer? :-D

OH called me into the garden to see the size of the hole the dog has excavated...glad I'm not the dog :-0

Well Said EEyore I feel exactly the same, im not proud of some of the things I have said and done, but I cannot and will not look back anymore as Stray says...I count my blessings over and over and am so grateful for what I have now and enjoy as much as I can....

We all live our lives differently and to say that "LIVE" we are the lucky ones...

Love this Glad thread

Reasons to be cheerful part 3

1 2 3

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats

18-wheeler Scammels, Domenecker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it - yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40 ? - no electric shocks

The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty - curing smallpox

Health service glasses
Gigolos and brasses

Take your mum to Paris
lighting up the chalice
Wee Willy Harris

Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico

Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
balabalabala and Volare

Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, Sing Along With Smokey
Coming out of chokey

John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
Bonar Colleano

Eeyore I am glad everytime I see the expression on your doggy avatar (I assume it is your dog :-D She looks a real character)

edited 'he' to 'she' ! sorry

That's what friends are for - to make you realise that life is good even when it's bad :-D

If I have the 'ump I know a few minutes on the phone with any number of friends will have me laughing :-D :-D

My blessings are OH, children, grandson, family and friends. If you have any of those the rest of the cr*p in your life can be put on a high shelf to collect dust.

Yes Rose that is the canine JCB & she's a very unladylike girl!

Supercrutch-sleepacneamajoralis! :-0

Sounds like a Harry Potter Spell lol :-D

my next door neighbour is fitting a new fence so my garden is trashed, but its made me sift the stuff iv been going to bin for ages, so im glad of that :-D

See Eeyore that made me choke again!!!! :-D :-D

i wish i had harry potters wand ;-)

i also count my blessings
but love it when karma strikes
and god lets me watch :-P

When you see the shape the world is in
When the way it is ain't what it's been
When folks just care for gold,
Thank God, I'm old
When you take a gander at the news
When you hear the language people use
When no sweet songs are sung
I don't wanna be young

Daddy time he
Doesn't fret me
Should he spy me
That don't upset me
Let him eye me
Come and get me
That's fine by me
Age don't worry me

When you see the way folks misbehave
When it's only good times that they crave
When kids are much too bold
Thank God, I'm old
When there ain't no He-Men left alive
When they tell you three men out of five
End up locked up or hung
I don't wanna be young.


Gonna get me dressed and powdered down
Call myself a hack and go to town
See every shady street
These feet once strolled.
Then I'm gonna slip back on the shelf
Have myself a nip and tell myself
Though my back buckles and bends
My hair's got silvery ends
When I see all of my friends
Laid out and cold
Thank God, I'm Old!

Pollyanna is my daughters favourite film.At an interview she was asked if she could be someone who had influenced her.......her answer was Pollyanna lol

If I could request a review of my life I think I'd be glad with the way things have been & tomorrow is always there to look forward to...

Rose...I'm not keen on silvery ends!

This is a lovely thread, thank you for putting it on here. As my mum used to say, no matter what, there is always someone out there who is worse off than you.
