Did everyone have a good Easter weekend? I did! I saw my family, my girlfriend is back from Nigeria, and everything is just going well. Things are looking up since that punch to the face I took last month. Sure, my income hasn’t recovered, sure, I’m still out of a bike, but my girlfriend is back! Sometimes I think it’s those sort of things that make the biggest difference.

Thanks for including me! Glad to hear that your girlfriend is back. Just goes to show that the things that matter can silence the things that don’t.
This is a great list, Kevin. Thank you for compiling it, and for also including my blog post.
Thanks for the mention! I hope things pick up soon. Let me know if I can help in any way.
Thanks for the link love Kevin and glad to hear you had such a great weekend!
Kevin, I believe that inner happiness comes from having a caring person around. You proved that hypothesis. Despite all the problems, you are feeling much better ever since your girlfriend has returned. I am glad to know that my friend.
Thanks for the link Kevin.
Glad your weekend was good. I went to the New Zealand Jazz Festival and hung out on the coast so am as happy as can be! Glad your GF is back and ready to help you keep your life running steady, after all that is what partners are for.
Thanks for stopping by, all, and hope you all had a great Easter. 🙂
