What's wrong and what's right in your life?

Right
I’ve got a wonderful reciprocal loving partner.
I’ve got great longtime friends and also newer ones.
I’ve got a roof, food and a job.
My future stepkids like me.
I’m healthier than in years past.

Wrong
I have bitter moments reflecting why I couldn’t/didn’t have what I have now when I was younger. I annoy myself with these occasional funks.
I live in an environment where I can’t make the money I’m able to elsewhere and I get jealous watching others have the financial security and lifestyle opportunities I can no longer be a part of.

What’s grand? As a part time weekend job I play music at the local hotel bar for a hefty sum. I do it cheaper than the local musicians union guild demands, so I get the job despite their protests. I use that to help raise my kid and to invest into the “retirement fund,” which I plan to use starting at age 51.

What’s bland? Right now, it’s between sports seasons. Hockey and basketball quit recently, and baseball doesn’t start until near the end of May. Just gotta wait it out, have no other option.

I planted my tomato seeds and some flower seeds. I keep telling myself summer will come, sometimes I fear this is the year we have no summer.
My arthritis is getting worse seemingly so fast- in bed today. And it’s a morphine day.

@hawaii_jake Can we figure out a way to play cards online? I’m game.

My husband and I are in a great phase in our relationship.

Wrong:
I realized that I have not made any friends in the two years that we have lived here except through my husband’s job.
My knee really keeps me from participating in activities that I love.

@marinelife I think you can play cards with someone on pogo.com. Although I won’t swear to that. And I don’t know if they charge.

Right:

I love where I live

Spring is coming!

I think I might not owe as much on my taxes this year. lol

Wrong:

A bit of the winter ‘funk’ going on, storms and gloom for days.

Some tension this last week, just ‘stuff’ mostly biz. stuff, and with confronting someone that has a manipulative side.

Due to all of the above tension have had a torqued neck and shoulder which FINALLY has unraveled itself after some serious Advil, hot tub, happy brownie intervention last night.lol

I’m feeling my center slowly returning after 5 crazy days. haha

Wrong
I have an ostomy that I have yet to become okay with
My fears hold me back from a lot of normal experiences

I became braver when I went to college, backslid when I came back home, but hope and expect to regain it when I go back

My disease is cured and I have hope that my life is about to get a lot better. Besides, I could so easily be dead right now, but I’m not.

Wrong?
I don’t have enough money to do all of the things I want, but it could be worse I guess.
I’ve got a few pests in my life, but I’m working on it

I have a place to live and food and water and enough freedom to be content (although I’d like to speed more without repercussions). But the bad part is: I want more moneeeeeeeeeeeey.
