A Positive Thread

Have you ever done something you are proud of ?

It doesn't have to be a big thing, just something that makes you feel better about being you. Something that you did or achieved.

Don't hide you light, let the chaps know.

I gave up smoking about 5 years ago, after having done it for about 20 years. I am really proud of it because it was so hard to do.

I went back to college last year (after leaving school 10 years ago) and I am now applying to go to university. It was the hardest thing I've ever done but totally worth it.

Sometimes I make care packages for homeless people and keep them in my car so when they come up asking for change I give it to them. Not often, last year I did it around Christmas time. If you live in a big city in the US, it happens alot where they ask for spare change. For intance, when you go to the gas station to get gas. When you get out, they might be waiting to ask you. So I figured if they're gonna ask anyway, sometimes it might be a pleasant surprise to get a small paper bag with food and a bible, ect.... I didn't do it often, only a few times, but the people seemed happy to get something.

I'm releasing a VBR mp3 rip of Sparklehorse - Good Morning Spider, complete with covers & videos, tonight at 11:00pm.

and that's a good thing.

I helped a friend bury a body in his garden.

Um, is there a negative thread -Have you ever done anything your ashamed of? -I think I might need to visit that one as well.

Feckin Brilliant, well done. I seriously admire your courage.

I am absolutely sure that your next step will work out well for you. The fact that you have taken the steps so far prove that you are the right sort to succeed.

My younger brother left school with 1 higher and a few O Grades. He took an apprenticeship and became a tradesman. After he was married he went back to college to do an access course. From there he did his HND and then his degree.

He passed them all and now has the job he really wanted and is a happy camper.

Good luck mate and well done.

That's a really good idea.

Other people may wish to follow suit. Share a bit of what they have with others who perhaps have not been as fortunate.
