Are you happy?
What in your life makes you happy?
What could you change that would make you happier?
iLander|1436128748|3899246 said:I am happy, and here are my basic requirements to be happy:
Be upright
Be sucking air
That's pretty much it.
I also realize that there a millions of people in the world for whom my life, simple as it is, is a dream come true.
I have a house with clean running water, food to eat, temperature control. That's crazy great.
I'm not addicted to a drug, I'm in decent health (both mental and physical), my family is great, I have a man that loves me, and children to care for. No one is in the hospital right now. That's verging on ridiculously awesome.
I have a reasonable job, I can pay my bills, I don't have to live from paycheck to paycheck. That's just ludicrously fantastic.
I can afford to pay my kids' college expenses, I have two (!) running cars, I have health insurance! I am lucky beyond all belief.
I could go on and on, counting my blessings. Which I often do. I'm the luckiest woman in the whole damn world.
So yeah, I'm happy.

There are a few things happening in my life (or not happening) that I would like to try and change; my career is moving a little slower right now than I was hoping for, I'm not seeing my friends as much as I probably should and my house is a drop-in free hotel for my wife's teenage siblings 4 or 5 days per week which is getting on my nerves.
But the glass is half full, I've just celebrated 12 months without a cigarette as well as the first wedding anniversary with my wife, I'm doing a fair bit of fishing and hunting and I am involved with the local music scene at the moment with gigs lined up at some of Melbourne's most popular bars. I'm sure if I was working a high paying, long hours job or seeing my mates all the time then I would be feeling unhappy that I'm not fishing/hunting or playing music as much as I should be
I really shouldn't complain about the whole career thing either; a couple years ago I was out of work, couldn't access any kind of benefits and was desperate for any kind of job I could get.

Tears well up in my eyes and run down my face in the most inappropriate times. I never got over losing my alter ego, so I am ill-equipped for losing my best friend, though it is immanent.
I'm sorry, this is not what you started this thread for.
Don't mind me
