Are you happy with your life and the way it's going? Why or why not - in a general way. No personal attacks.

Topics: happy or not

Good morning. I am wondering how blog catalogers are doing out there. Are you happy with your life and the way it is going?

I am happy, despite permanent carpal tunnel I'm stuck with. I thought that ruined my life, but it's opening up for me again, even with the problem.

And I am blessed with a super husband and children who grew up well.

Hugs, JJ

Good morning to you too JJ. Yes, I am content. I also have a super husband and family. Great to know that someone else does also. We all have our challenges. May you have the most pleasant of days! - Nards

Nope. I've messed things up, and continue to do so on a regular basis.

I don't like to think about it. There's always things i wish i could have done differently, but if you dwell on them you'd got mad.

For me, i believe that the opportunity to make my life better is always present, it's just that i'm too lazy to seize those chances. But, yeah, life is so far good to me, i'm happy.

I'm happier than I've been for a long time, and poorer than I've been for a long time. Money's tight, but I have time to create art and communicate artistically. I finally feel like a human with with a soul; not a hamster on a wheel.
Short answer: yes.

Simply put, I would rather I didn't have the exciting task of budgeting. I so want to win the lottery! I want to relocate somewhere col where my creative juices will flow. A place with loads of artistic people and ambiance.

It really depends on which day you ask me! But seriously, I'm somewhat content with my life right now. However, when it all comes down to it, there is ALWAYS things I'd like to be better.

I work too much and can't see a way around it, but other than that, yes.

Yes, life is good for me and I'm enjoying the moment. May it continue!

And, like many of you have mentioned, it wasn't always this way. I've been through several long, dark nights-of-the-soul. There were times I wasn't sure I was going to make it through. But I did, after going through a lot of spiritual questing, and here I am!

Yes! Life is good and I am happy. I need to work too many hours to survive but I'm happy that I have skills I can use to make an income with.

I wake up every morning and thank God for my life and thank him every night with my kids before we go to bed. I couldn't imagine it getting better but it always does.

Mmm, last time I confessed to being happy my life went steadily downhill in a big way as if someone heard and thought 'right, we'll teach her!' I am happy again now but please don't tell anyone - just in case.

Thanks for your comments. I have found beautiful personalities on the blog catalog and your answers reaffirm that. I also have had hard times in my life that lasted for years and am glad to have found that that can turn around.

I will make sure to visit all of your blogs.

Hugs, JJ

I have plenty of work to do on my life and a long way to go still but I feel like I'm at least on the right track now - feeling that way makes me happier and more optimistic than I have in a long while! Thanks for asking the question and reminding me of that

I have always been sickeningly happy my entire life. My whole life, I couldn't believe how good my life has been. I have always secretly expected something horrible to happen b/c I have more happiness than any one person should have. Despite splitting with my husband last year, I am the happiest I have ever been.

It has its ups and downs, but I don't feel like I'm owed it being amazing, and there are a lot of little things that are pleasant, so I really can't complain.

ThriftShopRomantic, the little things do make life more complete, don't they!!! I hope I am never too busy to notice them.

I love the honesty I'm hearing in these answers - the heartfelt replies. I am working my way through the blog visits and am having an inspiring time!!!

Hugs, JJ

I'm more content than I've ever been, but there's definitely room for improvement in some areas.

I am very pleased with my life (or maybe I just tell myself that) I think I have a pretty decent outlook and try to find positivity in every situation. I'm forever grateful for everything I have whether I provided it myself or with the help of my family. I may not be where I thought I would be at this age but I know I'll get there when I'm good and ready!

I had my bad times in the past nonetheless I am very happy with my life right now. I couldn't be more happier. Life is strange but beautiful at the same time.

Regards,
