IGTBA.... I know you want to know what this means. CLICK THROUGH
IGTBA is a saying my grandfather used to say all the time! I wanted to share it with you today 
It's
Great
To
Be
Alive
Today, i'm really feeling the IGTBA love, so let's share our #IGTBA moments from the day here!
Special invitation to all the **grumpy people** out there to participate (you know who you are...yes, i'm talking to you...)
#IGTBA because I turn 21 tomorrow and I'm going to eat lots of my favourite food and get fat, yay!
Happy Birthday Isaac! And many more...
@Isaac_
Happy Birthday!!!!! Have an amazing birthday!
HAPPY BELATED
#IGBTA because all of my plans seem to finally be falling into place!
@Harquinn909 -- I can totally relate to this...feeling more balanced and at peace myself. It's a wonderful feeling, huh? :) *hugs*
Current job pays me considerably less than any position I have had in the last 15 years. So why did I take it. Well, today:
-Checked 7cups periodically
-Saw my spouse and got a hug and a smooch!
-Shared the love with many coworkers, active listening while at work
-Went to lunch at a local hometown Mexican Restaurant with a great coworker
-Today is the steak special at another local place, doing that this evening. Will meet family and friends there
-Just realized I don't have to cook today 
@Pickle68 -- I love no-cooking days!!!! 
#IGTBA Because despite being in a very difficult time, I'm still alive. I guess that's great.
That's amazing, stay strong :3
@Laura I wonder if you even knew that this thread had a theme song...

@Pickle68 -- thanks for sharing this!! Just listened and really enjoyed it. Here are the lyrics if anyone is interested: It's a Great Day to be Alive by Travis Tritt
I got rice cookin' in the microwave
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say, hey
I'm doin' alright
Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup
I'm feelin' pretty good and that's the truth
It's neither drink nor drug induced, no
I'm just doin' alright
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin'
When I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't everyday be just this good
It's been 15 years since I left home
And said good luck to every seed I'd sown
gave it my best and then I left it alone
I hope they're doin' alright
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see
A lone wolf there starin' back at me
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Lord I guess he's doin' alright
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin'
When I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't everyday be just this good
Sometimes it lonely, sometimes it's only me
And the shadows that fill this room
Sometimes I'm fallin', desperately callin'
Howlin' at the moon, ah-ooh
Well I might go get me a new tattoo
Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise
Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin'
When I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't everyday be just this good
It's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin'
When I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't everyday be just this good
#IGTBA because everything is something that makes me feel happy to be alive. Cliche but sincere :3
#IGTBA Because today, I am free.
@KM14 -- I looooovvvveeeed reading this!
@RocketsMom - Thanks, Amelia. I think I can finally say that I made it through (or partially made it through) the most difficult thing that life has thrown at me so far. There will obviously be more bumps along this crazy journey that we call life, but if I got through this, I can get through a lot. I'm forever grateful for the support that I've been given.
#IGTBA because every day I get to come on here and see all of you wonderful people.
#IGTBA because it's worth it every time I can make someone smile. ^_^
This post made me extremely happy! Will definitely keep jot this down mentally and look back at it when I'm down or upset. Thank you for posting this.
