The only good thing about the blues is that they pass

February 25, 2007

Accolades for a blue self (because it’s far easier to dwell on all the reasons that I suck, and wallow in my melancholy):

*I finally joined the RSP bandwagon and I’ve virtually guaranteed that I will be buying a house in 3 years or less

*I’m saving more of my money than ever before–at last I am fiscally responsible!

*I have some good friends who actually listen to what I have to say instead of unburdening on me and leaving me once they feel better (athough I have those friends too)

*I went dancing three times in this very short month

*I’m still employed in a job that I find challenging

*I went skiing

*my parents are proud of me and tell me so

*I’m learning a new word every day, although my retention of the words is mediocre at best

*I get a daily smile from my Far Side calendar

    Let's see…I'll go with accolades.

    And accolades indeed for starting RSPs! Good deal where you can take them out for a down payment on a house without penalty if you pay it back within 5 years.

    You actually get 15 years to pay them back without penalty!

    wow. there are a few wordy gurdy gurdy word possibilities tonight. However, I'm going to go with accolades.

    i'm sorry you're feeling blue. but that is a great list of things to be happy about. I hope you got to go dancing on friday, even though I had to cancel.

    WG=Accolades

    If you can do the house thing that would be great. It's a great investment.

    It's also a great feeling to own a home. Good Luck
