My best friend got into is dream college today. This means he will be transferring, so part of me feels sad that he will be leaving, but seeing him so elated, today I can only be happy for him. He deserves this so much. I am grateful that he got accepted.
EYEFORGOT 05-02-12, 07:57 AM My friend who knows I sometimes whine and have a pity party but just listens... the strategy helps me get over it faster. Thank you Quanah.
My job. Today the owner of the company I work for announced cost-cutting measures taking place including lay-offs and pay cuts. I'm fortunate that my job and current pay rate will stay in tact. And the team I manage will only lose two part-timers that also have full time jobs. Very grateful.

Unmanagable 05-03-12, 06:02 PM The results of discussing my concerns with the wife of the gentleman I've been offered a caregiving position with turned out much better than I anticipated. *Whew*
She was so incredibly understanding and willing to adjust some things to make it more user-friendly for me. I'm extremely humbled by them opening their hearts and home to me. I hope I can provide the level of valuable companionship and care that benefits both of them.

hanikamiya 06-10-12, 05:55 AM Waking up believing it was Monday, and then it is Sunday.
I'd already gotten into my 'oh no I wasted the weekend, I wasted an entire day sleeping there was so much I should have done and could have done instead'
... and then I realized it wasn't even true. It feels like I've been given another day just for my own convenience. :)
Unmanagable 06-10-12, 04:07 PM Music, sunshine, our gardens, the birds, and knowledge. Now, if I could just remember said knowledge, and recall it when I most need it, I'll be all set. :)

I love intern ships. My self esteem is up top again ! The difference between being drunk (or acting silly) and being stupid is that one is temporarily.
Gotta love acting silly if you know you can come back to intelligent !

Unmanagable 07-01-12, 11:16 PM Being able to take mom a couple coolers full of ice, some water, and a battery operated fan. She's been w/o power since late Friday night when the 70 mph winds paid us a visit, rather unexpectedly. :eek:

Food and this :goodpost:
Oh god yeah food - or perhaps not - it is the origin of my weight gain...
All the varieties, the distribution of unique recipes. We wouldn't be able to enjoy the cuisine as a hobby as much as we do if commercialisation didn't exist ! We couldn't make a real feast out of every meal a day with full liberty of choice with endless possibilities !

I'm grateful for my dog, who keeps me sane.
I am grateful to someone who called me up a few nights ago and wanted to spend time together talking. We've known each other for many years, but only recently did I find out we have ADD in common. We talked for nearly 3 hours. It felt so good sharing with someone that understands; someone that finally accepts me the way I am. I hope it helped her as much as it did me.:)
Recently I have received my new bass guitar. It is a 6 string and is made in Poland. It has beautiful curves and a warm dark color. It has a very nice smell, wood oil. :)
Most important, it sounds great. I always find it very difficult to describe a sound, but try anyway: it has a deep, tough, yet crispy sound with highly defined tones. :cool:
I have never in my life fallen in love with a lifeless object, but now I think I am in love with this bass guitar. :D I can only play simple stuff because I am constantly thinking of the beauty of this instrument. Even when I am not playing it, I keep thinking of this bass constantly. Subliem craftmanship!
Unmanagable 07-13-12, 09:36 PM Cooler temps, an overcast sky, and a rain shower.
I'm hoping for storm, intense storm...I just love the feeling when you're standing at the cliff, looking at the sight of endless sea with this untameable storm approaching unstoppably, hanging immobile above the water. You know what's coming, and it is that thrill that fills your veins with adrenaline... that fright, not ritaline (!)
I think a storm would pretty much represent me...
When I'm on the thrill... Don't come to me unless you know what to expect. I never go back because I know what I came for. I reach the level where other wouldn't dare. The crossing line is my toy but occasions are rare. That's why partners almost never are there.

Unmanagable 07-25-12, 02:32 AM Knowing that this time tomorrow, I'll be in a tent at my favorite music festival. Hopefully, on a somewhat level spot this year. (fingers crossed) :)

the replies to my thread about work! I can't answer them now, as I am at work... but I'm just SO grateful to everyone.

Electra2 07-25-12, 03:35 PM well.A bad day will make a good day seem better.
phantasm 07-25-12, 04:24 PM I am thankful for Pandora.com. Because without music I couldn't possibly get my clients work done and focus. I love all the channels, and that it's free. :yes:
Electra2 07-25-12, 06:35 PM Ok.Update.
A festival tomorrow and a party on saturday.
:)
Friends with common sense, insight, wisdom and patience.
And wine. ;)
Electra2 07-26-12, 06:08 AM my washing mashine, and dryer and my flat.
For some people its a luxury.
It was for me too,back then.
Now I don`t have to cook my clothes
and let them hang and dry for hours
or go to the "hotel" to wash them there
every day.
ADDinHDefgHi?! 07-26-12, 07:02 AM My friends and family. The people who have stood by me for years, invaluable as I get older.
I made it to my psychiatrist appt. on time this morning. And I only had to go to 3 pharmacies to get my meds filled today! The first two were out of Ritalin. It's always a relief to know I'll be able to function (or at least as close as I get to functioning) for another month.
Electra2 07-28-12, 08:35 PM My dear family and friends as allways.
This evening my friends came to visit,
and they brought pizza,a movie and birthdaygifts :cool:
Unmanagable 07-30-12, 02:59 AM I am grateful for:
A nearly level camping spot. :) (Yay!!!!!!)
Gorgeous weather that included awesome cloud shows.
Starry nights.
Crickets.
Battery operated fans.
A luggable loo. (Whoever thought of this is a genius, in my book....lol)
The kindness of strangers.
Michael Franti taking time to stop and give me a hug and take a pic with me. :D ("Oh Happy Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")
The Drums for Cancer Drum Strong project. It was the biggest drum circle I've ever been in and it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!!!!!
For the 15-20,000 beautiful peeps that I crossed paths with at the music festival. :)
For making it home safely and soundly.
And for seeing that danelady and Earl are back with us. :D
Self control and restraint. Somewhat. :p
Oh, and lipgloss.
Talked on the phone with my best friend for an hour last night. Always good to talk to her, even though she tends to do most of the talking. :p
It has rained enough in the past week to almost start to make up for the month-long drought we've had. I count this as a blessing, because it means the crops will still have a chance to grow strong and healthy.
And at work today (I work at a B&B) the manager let me take home a fancy coat that has been sitting in the linen closet for a really long time that the owners did not bother to re-claim. :yes:
Electra2 07-30-12, 03:32 PM Today I`m just happy in general :cool:
I've got called 'crazy' at least ten times by different people, mostly all of them in a good way and they are oh so right.
Or : You're crazy
Me : You're boring (or sleep indulging)
Right in the face...
[...] I think a storm would pretty much represent me...
Well, that but more oftener the fresh renewing dawn of the tropical rainforest when parrots (fav. animal) are chirping.

anonymouslyadd 07-31-12, 03:14 AM For ADD Forums. I love this place so much, and I'm grateful to all the members, who make it awesome.
Going to WACKEN tomorrow... :cool:
All by myself - entire new experience ! (never been to a festival alone)
Electra2 08-01-12, 02:19 PM Selfrespect and dignity.
Electra2 08-10-12, 08:00 PM my meds and free oportunities like online tutorials.
Until confirmation of school re opening, endless holidays... :cool:
Unmanagable 08-12-12, 12:52 AM For the chance to be a part of an amazing three day drumming and healing event over labor day. :D This is gonna f'n rock!!!!!!!!
Unmanagable 08-12-12, 02:25 AM And......for the clear skies that enabled me to check out some meteors tonight. :) I usually miss them, but I saw about a dozen this time. Sweet!!
CheekyMonkey 08-12-12, 02:27 AM A husband who puts up with me. :lol:
crystal8080 08-12-12, 02:33 AM :lol:The ability to put up with my husband!
True story.:rolleyes:
Nah. Clearly, he puts up with a lot from me too.

I think that is the only way it can work!
We are equally crazy, and it works for us. :)
My family over and over forgiving my ADHD impulsive behaviour.
I don't get well with them, but I certainly am grateful they know when to forgive me.
Today I am grateful for social networking. I am able to keep in touch with friends and family all over the country--and even around the globe--in a way that wouldn't have been possible even just 15 years ago. When I think about the advances made just since my grandparents' generation, I mean it's really mind-blowing the technological advances they witnessed in their lifetimes. I am really fortunate that I can benefit from those advances so that I can see the faces of my loved ones in real time, from across the country. Nothing better than that. :)
Dark Knight Rises. So damn awesome I won't ruin it on words. Feel it. See it. Listen to the soundtrack.
My neighbor told me she was impressed how much I've improved and what I've turned out to be, despite me own dissatisfaction of my achievements, especially in comparison to my ideologies and her sons (my best friends) accomplishments.
Electra2 08-14-12, 02:12 PM The holidays are soon over so my family comes home!:)
My impulsivity...or,ability to try new shortcuts that turns out not to be a shortcut anyway
because it helps me learn new places instead
of going somewhere on time.

I like this! I have gotten lost many times because I followed an impulse instead of going the normal, sensible way... and while that does mean that sometimes I'm late, it also means that I've discovered a lot of really cool, interesting places along the way. For example, a creek that I followed up through the forest, where I found a random fire pit in the middle of the woods. How would I have ever found such a cool place if I had stayed on the path, or not started wandering at all?
Unmanagable 08-15-12, 04:26 AM A safe journey to Ithaca and back, and a very pleased and excited young 'un!! And wow!! What a gorgeous ride!!
Jynical 08-15-12, 10:48 AM At this moment: Deadmau5 and coffee.
Being distracted this morning. Almost made a non-refundable $343 purchase this morning but I stopped to respond to a VM here and ended up not confirming my purchase.
Electra2 08-17-12, 12:45 PM My kid, as allways :)
Unmanagable 08-18-12, 03:53 AM An end of summer gathering with several friends and former co-workers, fire pits, cold beer, good music, belly laughs, fur babies, new (unintentional) dance moves (lol), and lots of big hugs. :)

Helping eleven year old neighbor giving advice in order to help her improve relations with her family as the only one she trusts with her problems, having similar problems and taking similar medication and being the only one she knows to do so.
I know she loves them, and vice versa but her life is incredibly complicated by her health problems and I feel she needs someone to understand her. And I did.

Unmanagable 08-22-12, 05:54 AM Finding out I can check in a day early at the drumming/healing event and set up camp, at no extra cost. :D

Unmanagable 08-23-12, 04:09 PM For the amazing people in my community who are willing to be creative in finding ways to sustain our local economy and look out for each other.
I've learned the most from the people that most folks thought were bat s*** crazy.
And I hope someone can say they've learned a lil' something from me one day, too. :)
Electra2 08-24-12, 09:45 AM And... ?
And he is 10 years younger then me...
so I hope it lasts.
He insists he really loves me sincerly...
just didnt realise it till now...
We met about 1 year ago.
but he is so young!
I cross my fingers...
To day I`m gratefull for my boyfriend! :)

Don't hope ! It will ! Don't question the possibility, love him and you will !
So ? Is he smart, circus clown, rodeo cowboy, crazy artist, mad scientist ? Those are vital elements, age only tells how long he's lived. Not how he lived it, what experiences he learnt from it, his points of views, emotional intelligence or intellectual, or thought patterns.
But now I'm intrigued, how old are you both ?

NolaGirly, my friend goes to LSU and she had to evacuate yesterday! Hope you're able to keep your power for the remainder of the storm. I grew up in Florida so I know hurricanes all too well. Hope you're having a hell of a hurricane party to celebrate. :)
