- i do have a nice place to live, even if the house itself has some issues and flaws.
- i do find myself to be happy much more than i feel unhappy in my life.
- i do make sure to consistently visit the doctor(s) that i need to to maintain my health and continued life.

i see progress in myself and for my family. that makes me happier than anything in the world.
i do not know what will happen tomorrow, but i do hope that each day will be better and happier than the one preceeding it.
