Default Re: Is there anything at all to be cheerful about?

I now weigh more than I ever have before, have a dodgy hip, and have been taking 40 mg of citalopram for over 2 years.

However, have just got a a promotion and payrise backdated to 1st Jan, so for the first time in my life I am now earning £1k for each year of my life. Have just come back from a fab holiday in Key West & Miami. Have got a test ride on the new Triumph Explorer tomorrow, and a big launch event for SERV Wessex on Sunday. Have got some great friends, and the best wife in the world.

Life is good.

They do the same for SKY HD users as well , it has come in handy to record quite a few things that I have seen when I have been out and about and forgotten to record something with no chance of getting home on time

Life is like a roller coaster for me at the moment.

Work is hard, constantly doing 60hr weeks. However it should pay off. No time to see my wife and kids, the strain is starting to show.

A week in Scotland coming up on the bike to look forward to, ending with the GM

This is life.

No mate. We're here for trillions of years. Once we die, and get cremated or buried, our atoms fuel the next generation of living things. And those that don't, become buried in the depths of the earth's crust until, in millions of years, the Earth is destroyed in the cataclysmic explosion of our sun, sending our remnants through the universe. Covering light years, we impact planets and become part of their geology, hit stars and become vapours fuelling their solar system, or fly into the depths of a black hole, waiting for the universe to explode and get recreated once more.

In a way, we live forever. Just depends how you look at it and how you feel about the infinity of space and what significance you place on yourself and your life.

At least, that's how I try to feel about death, since I am no theist.
