Good, Better, Bad

Here's a thread where you get to voice your opinion about things in your life. But you're supposed to follow the format of naming a blessing, then naming a greater blessing, and then name a problem. This way you'll name at least two blessings for every problem you have (and hopefully you'll feel better about having so many problems, when you realize that your blessings out-number your problems).

I'll start with an example:

Good : I'm in love. (I get the semi-giddy, bulletproof feeling when I think of her.)

Better : She's in love with me. (A one-way relationship would suck)

Bad : She's a thousand miles away.



Another example :

Good : I have a steady job. (better than unemployed !)

Better : My income is greater than my expenses (woo-hoo ! Savings !)

Bad : My job drives me bonkers with lots of unpaid overtime.


Another example :

Good : My mother and father love me.

Better : My entire family isn't dysfunctional and are not likely to ever be guests on Jerry Springer.

Bad : As I get older, I become increasingly aware that my beloved parents may not be around much longer. I need to make time for them.

You get the idea, people ?

Not so much a sigh of relief...I can't think of how to put it. It's like, you see something totally gross and you unconciously make that noise.
