Stolen from tangerinpenguin:

Thirteen things that have been going really well for me:

1. Interesting work. I get to do technical writing for programmers, rather than for end users. And I'm good at it.

2. I work for a company that treats its people really well. I'm not talking about money (though the pay is competitive); I'm talking about the things that really matter on a day-to-day basis, like respect and professionalism.

3. I have a great relationship with my rabbi. I am thrilled that he is willing to learn with me one on one. How many people get that opportunity without enrolling in yeshiva?

4. I'm having even more fun than I expected to in ralphmelton's D&D game.

5. ralphmelton, lorimelton, and mrpeck have gone from being casual acquaintances/coworkers to being really good friends (with me, I mean :-) ), initially through the mechanism of Sunday dinner.

6. I heard a bunch of great music at a recent convention and have gotten a couple of friends hooked on Clam Chowder (the group, not the soup).

7. I'm getting to know a lot of interesting people through LJ, some of whom are friends in real life.

8. I've been filling in occasionally for a congregation that doesn't have a cantor, on Friday nights. Not only am I doing a good job, but they really like me.

9. Soon, I will be able to move my office upstairs out of the cold basement. Shelves are being installed in the new room, possibly as I write this.

10. On the Mark sounds really good with the new lineup.

11. My SCA group is being reasonable in the face of unreasonable demands from above. It didn't look like it was going to play out this way.

12. Dani, my family, and the cats are all healthy and doing well.

13. I have lost enough weight that people have noticed, though not as much as I need to (nor as quickly as some of my friends are losing it), without doing anything more formal than paying attention to what I eat and trying to walk more.
