What an amazing article!!! What wonderful accomplishments you have made this year! I’m so sorry for the death of your Nan. I’m also sorry to hear about the falling out your daughter has had with you…you don’t deserve to be yelled at by your daughter. I understand and support that you sent her to live with her dad…I have a stepdaughter that I have had to stop speaking with for a while and now keep at arm’s length because I needed to protect myself from her emotional abuse. Stop beating yourself up for being overweight…you are an amazing and lovely woman! I too am overweight and I know it’s a real struggle…I constantly remind myself not to beat myself up over my weight because I’m an awesome person, just like you are an awesome person!

Happy birthday Ariane. Great to see that you have been able to find 44 positive things to say even when you have had a lot of bad stuff thrown at you recently. If I've been complaining, as I often do, my wife asks me to say something positive to balance it, which is not always easy. I'm going to be 70 next year so maybe I need to think of 70 positive things for that occasion. Making it to 70 could one.

Aww, thank you Alan. Being 69 could also be one, with all the rude jokes, haha! I’m enjoying my birthday so far - I had cake for breakfast and am shopping for pretty things for my house. ☺️
