Of course – I spent it with my family!

Yes. I enriched and was enriched by those I came in contact with. Only on days in which I feel non-productive do I think it was not “well lived”. I often struggle with the idea that sometimes it’s ok to be non-productive.(Don’t just do something- sit there) But today I worked-and I feel my career is very rewarding…but hard as hell some days too!

I still have the rest of the day and it looks like it’s going to be a peaceful evening with Hubby so yes, I think most of my days are “well lived”

The cable/internet was out in the neighborhood till about an hour ago, so it was more productive than usual. I got some stuff done and took a long bath. It was great.

Well, I got out of 8 hours of driving by convincing my hubby to ride with a friend to his band gig in Jacksonville. Woo hoo!

Unfortunately, I still have to drive him to Sarasota tomorrow night. Ah, well. Cheers!

I think so. I wrote a pretty darned good reference letter for a former co-worker and friend. I thanked my entire staff for jobs well done this week. I got treated to lunch by a co-worker to celebrate my 5th anniversary with the company. I stuck to my diet for the 14th straight day.
And I made it home through Friday afternoon traffic all in one piece. Yes, I’d say it was a good day. Hope yours was, too.

I spend most of my nights passed out in my pillows from booze, so I never remember what I was thinking at that point, if anything. So that probbaly means it wasn’t well lived. Today probbaly won’t be any different, I don’t think.
Although today I did get a trophy on the PS3 for having sex with one of my party members in Dragon Age, so that was pretty cool.

Yes…I have learned to not let one day pass me by without squeezing a little extra out of each day to help make me smile.

If spending the morning waiting at the dealership while my car’s emissions system was repaired and my catalytic converter was replaced and then spending the afternoon at the DMV getting my car inspected and waiting in line to renew my tags and registration could be considered a day well spent, then yes, it was. It was something that needed to be done and something that I will not have to do again for a good long time. I wish I had something more meaningful and profound to share but some days you just have to spend getting shit done and there’s no way around it.

It was excellent. I spent the whole afternoon and evening with a man who may very well be a keeper, and I caused a near riot here.

Today was pretty stupid

Frenchfry's avatar

Spent the day taking care of my little one and the house. So everyday is well lived.
@downtide Congrats!

Definitely yes. Today my fiance and I got our marriage license application notarized and picked out our wedding rings. Then we spent the afternoon and evening in the international district of Seattle where we had some wonderful sushi.
