I’ve just been reading the other thread about the worst decisions people have made in their lives. I’m saddened to hear people’s stories and would like us to have a positive thread to go alongside it..
so what’s the best thing that’s happened to you, or the best decision you’ve made?
AIBU?
What’s the best thing that’s happened in your life?

@LuckySantangelo35 I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to say it for fear of being jumped on.

Going to a toddler group, on my own, as a huge introvert. The chain of events that set off has been incredible. It was 20 years ago and I'm still reaping the benefits.
Because I was so introverted, I volunteered to help with making tea, tidying toys etc to give me something to do. I became good friends with the organiser (who was the opposite of introverted) who opened up a whole new social circle for me and DS.
Once DC were at school, we remained friends and she became depressed about her weight. To try and help we started doing a bit of jogging. Did Race for Life then joined a running club. Since then my whole way of life has changed and I have a huge social circle of active people. I'm off to somewhere sunny to run a marathon with some of them this weekend.
Friend lost 3 stones and has kept it off. We're still friends, but I'm not so dependant on her now, which is good. I still have quiet tendencies but I'm fully involved in the local community these days and it all started there.
