My turn. Hmm... let's see... 1. It's Friday. 2. I just heard one of my favourite pieces of music on Radio 3, Debussy's "La Mer" 3. I got my bike back from being serviced at the local bike shop. It cost a small fortune but it's as good as new again. 4. Had a very satisfying home-cooked meal. 5. I'm alive! And I'll almost certainly still be alive tomorrow!

1. Today is the 6th anniversary of my marriage to The Right (wonderful) Man.
2. I have 2 beautiful, clever, and genuinely good hearted children. Good people of the future, and I'm so proud of them.
3. Great friends, 2 of which are spending the night here.
4. A gorgeous loving cat, part of our family, and such a joy every day.
5. The house of my dreams in the country (not a big house, but my perfect home).

I'm an anxious person, 15 years ago, I would never have believed it if you had told me I would have all these things and I would be so happy. So to anyone anxious, it can happen.
Great thread.
