More of an Agnostic, but not far from the Atheist border.
What keeps me going...
I love my wife. She makes me happy and I make her happy. I have two daughters of my own whom I am very proud of, they make me smile every time I think of them. I love my step daughter, regardless of her troubles. I've never been a pessimist. I just do what needs to be done, do my best, and let the rest take care of itself. I figure that as long as I do my best, there is nothing more to be done and no reason to worry.
My mom and I have a great relationship. My dad and I had a good relationship which, after taking care of a couple of issues between us, turned out great for the last fifteen or twenty years of his life. My sister and I... Well, let's just say we're working on it.
So, what keeps me going? Love, optimism, and having no regrets. You can't change the past, you can only move forward.
Oh, and I listen to Jimmy Buffett.
