My life is a rollercoaster of ups and downs... and there is plenty of good to counter the bad. I am hoping that others can say likewise and tell me: what's gone good lately? Do you have a recent success or something you're particularly thrilled about? Let us share in your joy and congratulate you.
I'll start: yesterday I passed the 3000 point mark for November here on Gather. I'm pretty happy because it was a goal, I set it, and I reached it. Now it's your turn. Tell me something good!

Hmm good, eh. Well, I'm not sick with the flu. 24 hours ago I was sure I'd be laid up in bed with it.
Hmm.. still progressing nicely on the NaNovel and there are no sign of troubles in sight for it.
What is good? waking up and being alive, that is the greatest thing of all, smiling,
Have a great day today,
As long as I wake up in the morning and everything that was there when I went to sleep is still there when I wake up ... it's a good day! Everything else is just gravy on the cake ...
Okay... I need work on my metaphors. I haven't had any coffee yet! I hope you get my point anyway.
I am thankful for my health, for the opportunity to stay home with my children, the opportunity to go back to college and the friends that have stuck by me through a really rough time and for the everlasting love of God. He makes it all possible.
I lost my job (one that I hated btw) in July. I prayed and prayed that God would lead me to THE job He believed I should have. Thankfully He lead me to a position within a Christian-based retirement community that I adore. I had my 90-day review this week and apparently they love me as much as I love them! Now THAT is something that is not only good, but great!
There are so many things that are good in our lives. To love and be loved by an amazingly good man.
Oh yeah.....and we get to pick up our newest family member, Flash (female bassett hound puppy) tomorrow morning!! :)
Hope this finds everyone able to find the good in their life!
What's good? It's cold outside, but warm inside. That's always good!

I had written a more lengthy and comprehensive comment to this post and as I was searching the spelling of a word I lost the comment. Grrrrrrr I'm not even gonna try to re-create it.
Gonna go get another cup of slug juice. BRB
SSDD here for me, just the way I like it, Lydia....
Have a great weekend!!!!
Whats good? I would have to say most everything. I also just got over being sick, feel the best I have felt in a week. Also, I am anxious to see the numbers from the web site we started in June. I should get a report on Rising Star Authors.com early next week. We are looking toward our next expansion on the web site exposure front, which is also exciting to me. I can hope we are selling books and helping other self published authors get the word out about themselves and their work, but we won't know to what extent untill next Wednesday.
I'll publish an article over the weekend if'n anyone is interested in our site plans.

The current exposure promotion is trying to get anyone with a MY SPACE page to add a link to risingstarauthors.com and asking all of their connections to do the same. It doesn't cost anything and has the potential to really get the word out globally.
Gather friends? If you can help we would be very tickled. Thanks.
I am also working on a lyric book that I'll put out. I haven't really seen lyric books out there, so it's very exciting to be doing. Hopefully that works out well for me...
The only down right now is my hours at work (wish I had a day job), but hey...some people can not work or do not have jobs for other reasons so at least I got a job :)
Lena, great idea! I have planned for years to make a book of my lyrics with illustrations, etc. but it's so time-consuming to put it together!
Thanks again for the congratulations from everyone!

Wow! There are truly some good days happening with the Gather people here!
My week is going well.
1.) I won an I-pod shuffle
2.) One of my poems has been selected to be in an anthology
3.) I was given a check for some of my writing!
4.) My husband Shan's wound is healing well and he actually came home from work early to rest. I'm so thankful that he's resting his leg.
5.) I get to listen to a wonderful writer read his writing tonight
6.) I finally got started on a ten-minute play for a collaborative project
7.) My daughter and I worked together and wrote a ten-minute play together!
8.) We have food, a warm house and many friends and family

Yes, Lydia, I feel like I'm on a roll and the prayers of the Gather community are a part of the healing. I lost track on who I had individually thanked, there were so many. One of my friends tells me I should buy a lottery ticket. I prefer to win things from competitions that don't cost!
Everything is as it should be in my life. I am particularly happy with my family - my husband, children and grandchildren.
