It's amazing. I actually am in a situation where I have almost nothing to complain about. The big three still remain (i.e. Work is boring, money's tight, still struggling for something to make into a book), but they're nothing new and, as it turns out lately, quite manageable.
That's all well and good, but how do you make a blog about it? I mean, come on. How did Chandler put it in that one episode of Friends? "Oh yeah, life sucks, two women love me. They're both gorgeous and sexy. My wallet is too small for my $50s, and my diamond shoes are too tight!" Something like that, making fun of Ross. Well, I don't have two women, I don't carry $50s around, and diamond shoes sound uncomfortable, but life's pretty good anyway.
So often, you go onto a person's blog and expect to be bombarded by negativity. The black and bleak aspects of life are simple things to write about, and some would say doing so is therapeutic. Maybe, maybe not, but you rarely see an entry about a person who is *happy* with things.
I feel I've broken personal new ground here. What say you, readers? Was it a good change? Or should I go back to finding things to whine about? :)

Oh, I don't know. Positive blogging can be as therapeutic as "rant" blogging. I feel both are integral to the true life-blogging experience. Otherwise, how are people to fairly assess the quality of your life?
I've been making a conscious effort to balance negative, positive, and informative elements since I opened Brown Hair, Brown Eyes.
What I enjoy from you most are your funny little insights on things. I've never liked "report your day/week/weekend" style blogging (something I am occasionally guilty of), but you've never done so.
Your very first entry was your strongest. I'd consider returning to that sort of anecdote, if you're looking for opinions.
But I'm biased. I love your approach to narrative. ;)
And as an aside? When you're happy, I'm happy! Whee!
