I am really fucking fortunate.

[Magrittes Pipe]

I know that sometimes I don't play it. After all, with cynicism and snarkiness being two of my most admirable (read: least offensive) qualities, it's sometimes tough to admit publicly just how lucky I am.

But I wouldn't trade my life for anyone's.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

1. You sue are. As am I

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. You are fortunate to have such a damn fine avatar.

You and I have something in common, my friend: we both have women who love us who are way out of our league. I don't know what, but we're obviously doing something right. :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. You got that right

I think I opened orphanages in my last life

[Magrittes Pipe]

18. Shit, I musta BUILT the fuckers with my bare hands.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Well. Let's hear the reasons why you are so fortunate. :^) Me,

I have a beautiful family, comfy trailer that doesn't leak, food on the table, & am allowed to bum around the house because hubby is willing to be the breadwinner.

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. There are many.

I'll be going home soon (home in my heart, anyway). I have food, clothing, and shelter for my family -- the most wonderful family anyone could ever imagine. I have friends I would die for, and who would do the same for me.

I have more than anyone could ever need.

[JimmyJazz]

3. I think it's great that you have the ability to recognize that you

are fortunate. That is an admirable quality. :)

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. No, it's not. I have no admirable qualities.

That's how I know it's all luck. :7

[terrya]

5. That's nice.

I certainly don't mean "that's nice" in a snide sort of way. I mean it is nice. It's good for you...and all of us...to occasionally take the time to appreciate how fortunate we are. Be it that special someone in your life or your friends or your good health.

And I know you well enough to know that you have a damned fine life indeed. :-)

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. I have a friend in Terry.

Shit, now I put "Spirit in the Sky" in my head. I guess I'm not so lucky after all. :P

Your friendship is DEFINITELY one of the things for which I feel fortunate.

[terrya]

20. Between the 67,512 of us, we can come up with another earworm...

to replace Norman Greenbaum. :-)

One of the absolute delights of my years at DU is having you as a friend. Your friendship is something for which I am most fortunate.

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. Thank you.

:loveya:

[MrScorpio]

6. I guess the liver hasn't given up yet?

Still pushing it, huh?

[Magrittes Pipe]

13. I think I can! I think I can!

[LynneSin]

8. Yeah, but we would trade your life for a "player to be named later"

if we could

:loveya:

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. Who wouldn't?

:shrug:

[BlueJazz]

10. I'm happy for you and your family. I feel the same way.

I wake up every day thankful that I'm alive and thankful that I'm Happy to be alive. :)

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. Good on you, BlueJazz.

:hi:

[MissMillie]

15. I know exactly how you feel

I have to stop every once in a while and remind myself just how lucky I am.

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. It really is important to remind ourselves from time to time.

Especially when other parts of our lives seem shitty, it's critical to remember what we do have.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

17. I am really fortunate fucking.

*sigh* Ah, the great copycats that just can't be.

[Magrittes Pipe]

22. Ha!

:thumbsup:

[Freebird12004]

21. I'm very much aware of my good fortune.

Every time I leave home for a while, I'm very happy to return.

[Magrittes Pipe]

24. That says it all.

:)

[XNASA]

25. Not even with Tim Ahern?

If I had the chance, I'd switch with Ahern without even thinking about it twice.

But he's the only one. ;-)

[Magrittes Pipe]

26. But he's dead.

:o

[XNASA]

27. That's right! I knew there'd be a catch.

Well then, lucky that you're you indeed.

[fudge stripe cookays]

28. I'm lucky too.

After years of all sorts of academic and relationship screw-ups, I have an incredible husband who adores me (and it is returned 100-fold), a beautiful home, a great dog, and a psychotic cat.

And my health (which tried to jump the shark 2 weeks ago) has returned (and I was fortunate enough to have health insurance when it failed for a moment).

Plus, I'm buds with Hedges and terry! :hi:
I'm a lucky gal.

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. You're just getting your just rewards...

...for being a great broad. :D

[fudge stripe cookays]

30. Wow.

Nobody ever called me a broad before!

I have arrived.

[Magrittes Pipe]

35. Broads are great.

Even better than dames.

[cassandra uprising]

31. testify brother hedges

thanks for the dose of perspective.

i spend too much energy in pushing myself for something better, whether it's in my art or work or relationships

(no comment csthet)

i forget to breathe and remind myself of all the things i have.

:grouphug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

33. You're too good for him.

But he knows that, and that's why he deserves you.

Funny how that works. :P

[cassandra uprising]

36. that's a real nice way of putting it

my usual response is, if you think he's moody...

that boy's got nothing on me. it's some crazy from of modulation i guess. plus, he let's me play with his star wars toys. that's love.

[Magrittes Pipe]

37. Does he let you pet his ewok?

:o

[cassandra uprising]

38. aaaw yeh baby

:blush:

[redqueen]

32. As am I.

It's so nice to take some time to really appreciate what we have... thanks for the early reminder.

Glad you're doing well. :hi:

[Magrittes Pipe]

34. Way better than "well."

I'm magnificent. :)

[RandomKoolzip]

39. Headline, April 8th, 2005: whoisalhedges dead in tragic bus accident....

that's wat usually happens, y'know.....Yer finally content, then kablooie.

[Magrittes Pipe]

40. At least I'll die happy.

That reminds me... I really need to update my life insurance....

[Magrittes Pipe]

41. Never mind, I was wrong.

According to Mark, I'm just a patsy.
