What makes you happy?

GZ. I'm not sure if you're taking the p*ss or not, or if there's some joke to your comments of which I am unaware, but if that's true - then, I think you need to smile a bit more. The truth is - only you have the power to make yourself happy and see things in a different way. I would suggest you give that a try.

I was not joking, I was being serious. Trust me, I smile more but does not help. Anyways, sorry to rain on your post, carry on.

I've started trying to see things in a different way. My sister keeps comparing me to Tess from Tess of D'urbervilles. I keep blaming myself for my silly choices and going on about how things won't work out. I think she's so fed up of me, lol. Just stressed about the whole single parenthood thing that's making it virtually impossible for me to do what I really want to do. Ah, nevermind. I need to be more content.

 

Currently, it's my greed. Money's my prime at the moment.

GZ, honey!
you are having a bad day - My suggestion is to gather some peeps and go chat later on.
Ill go chat with you now and sling some mud if you want- Im sure you will feel better if you have taken some smartass swipes at me
I gladly offer a target to make you feel better:smt058

 

Being a parent is something many people can only dream about, maybe consider this perspective when you are feeling mega stressed about it LS.

 

I agree.

 

True....but there are times when things get very overwhelming. I completely understand, LS...

Keep your chin up....this, too, shall pass. :smt023

 

Sorry to hear that, GZ. Hopefully you can find things that will make you happy in life. :smt023

 

may be a massive MI

 

With a crazy medic coming to perform CPR? lol

Oh yah and load you up with fun and interesting drugs.

 

WOW! So many things that make me smile.

A babies first smile,
A great-grandmother holding her first great-grandchild,
A lively Praise & Worship service at church,
Cheesecake (no topping)
A gentle rain,
A clean house that I didn't have to clean,
An invitation to lunch with a friend,
A good chick flick,
And many many more ....


But what REALLY makes me Happy,
A simple choice to be so!!

 

you my girl!
Oh geez, I'm having a big one, oh crushing substernal chest pain, call that red hair medic:smt043:smt043:smt043

GZ - sorry...I wasn't sure if you were being serious. Trust me when I say learning how to be happy is the single best thing you can do. Get a "tool kit" of skills to help that. Sometimes it's a simple thing like a good meal, sometimes take the afternoon off, go see a movie.

There are things in life you can control, and things you can't. The things you can control - do so...The things you can't - well, you can control your response to whatever it is.

Life is too short to be sad, and it's not that great, to be honest. If happiness is a choice, why choose to be sad?

 

Yep, you're right. I'm just going through the motions because I see my sister going places in life that I can only dream about now. I know I'm being selfish and silly. I absolutely love Jake and wouldn't change him for the world. It's just hard at the mo, like Bookworm said.

 

I didn't want to come across as suggesting anything negative, I just like to put a positive spin on things that some people look at as a blessing and at the moment I may look at as a burden (school for example lol -I can hear people partying and carrying with no worries while I sit at my desk and study).

I understand what you are saying LS because I have friends with munchkins who would love to be in my position and yet some days I think, wow having a child and perhaps husband like they do might be the most amazing thing in the world. Either way we are blessed.

 

Athena.....who knew you were so Peace, Love and Donny Osmond

 

Thanx for your suggestions, but I don't think I need "a guide to how to be happy tool kit". In fact, part of my job includes making ppl happy. What am I saying? I am Mr. Happiness, I bring lots of happiness and joy to co-workers, collegues, and customers. Just lately I am just not that happy, Who knows may be I am one of those lucky bastard who inherited the miserable fuck gene, oh well...

 

I'm all about the brotherly love.




It's a dark side I prefer not to share.
