are you better off now than 5 years ago?

Hello ? Carla ?.........Hi, this is Sam.

Gasp! Sam!

financially .... yes, definitely
job wise .... oh yeah
health wise .... about the same; need to drop a few pounds, but no return of melanoma (that's good)
social scene wise .... still surrounded by friends and family
romance wise .... if Sam Elliott calls, ask him when I can expect to hear from Kristen Scott Thomas
reflecting back to 5 years ago, where do you stand? better, worse or no change....Better; my job situation has improved measureably, and I've accomplished a major educational and professional goal in my life

Five years went by in the blink of an eye. Everyday we are above ground we all are living the dream.

Every day I get up is better then the day before. Better or worse it is always a lesson, something new to embrace, always and adventure. How exciting is that?

To answer the question:
Romance: Never ending
Job: I have one thank goodness
Financially: Waiting on the lottery.
Happiness: I miss my dog.
Health: I am still on two sound legs and I laugh every day. Not so much with the apple thing.
