yes,

I'm very happily content with my life right now. I'm one of the luckiest people I know, despite my constant bouts of bad luck. I realize that's a completely contradictory statement, but my mother would understand. Luck, or lack there of, creeps its way into our daily lives but I'm glad to have had her as an example of how to tackle it gracefully and with a smile of determination. Today was a perfectly ordinary day, nothing too significant...woke up, cleaned my room, went to lunch, ran some errands, hung out, read, dinner, market andddd it was a beautiful day in Thailand today. I'm not sure where this is going, but I just realized sitting here that I don't have a single thing to complain about and that's a wonderful thing.

“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.” ~Groucho Marx
