Are You Happy? - the poll

[auntpolly]

I'm happy.

Not everything is peachy keen in my life- I have problems like everyone else, but I'm a basically happy person.

I don't really like where I live, my husband yells too much, blah, blah, blah, all things that I could dwell on if I chose to, but I don't. I make the most of what I have - and I have fun! (WDW is part of that fun! - I'm lucky I get to go.

I live in a pretty afflluent place, kids all go to college, big houses, everyone seems unhappy. I know that "things" aren't supposed to make you happy, but I'm just thinking, c'mon, you're so blessed! How can you let these minor things ruin your life. Either accept things or change them - is it better to just be unhappy all the time?

I know there are real things that can make people unhappy - don't want to make light of that, or of a mental illness, but - Don't you think there are alot of unhappy folks out there that shouldn't be?

And you? Are you happy? Just "yes" or "no" - you can elaborate in a post if you like.

Yes, I am generally happy and like my life the way it is. I wouldn't turn down a million dollars, though.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

I would say...overall, yes, I'm very happy. There are moments when I want to rip the nearest bad driver's head off, but hey...who doesn't?

I'm happy with myself. I like who I am. I do have unhappy things going on - my marriage ended, my grandmother is dying - but in general, I'm quite happy.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

Yes I am. For the most part I really try to see the glass as half full, and look for the positive in most things and people.

There's always room for improvement!

Love your user name, by the way!

Yes, I am happy. I was just commenting to DH last night about it. We have had some rough patches, but things are going really well right now in our relationship. Our kids are bright and healthy, we are not struggling financially, we like our jobs (most of the time).

But you know what? I think life can be happy no matter what situation you find yourself in. It's all a matter of how you look at things - kinda of a glass if half full, glass is half empty analysis. Yes, there are times when life seems to get you down, but for the most part, your life is what you make of it.

Maybe I'm asking the wrong people, LOL, because we all have that "never want to grow up" Disney joy in us; don't we???

There are a few on this board that don't seem very happy (they seem to need a hug, if you know what I mean!) But for the most part - I guess we're a pretty happy fun loving lot!

 

[MdmMim]

I am... content. I wouldn't say happy or unhappy. Just content.

And that is good.

 

[dreamcometrue]

I am very happy with my life...I have a great DH, 2 great kids, and I love where I am right now in life. My family is in a great, comfortable place!

Now, I am not very happy with myself! I am working on it though. The main thing that causes it is my weight, but I am working on losing it!

I am Happy. This has happened in my 40's. I am so comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my life. I've started Daily meditation which has been life changing. I also credit it to Dr Wayne Dyer on PBS.

A good book is The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Spring is here!!!

 

[azgal81]

Yes I'm very happy!

 

[mickeyfan2]

I am extremely happy. Nothing to complain about.

 

[Bichon Barb]

Why does this man keep popping up in my head when I read this thread? LOL. (Oh, and yes, I'm happy.)

 

[NewJersey]

Although there are things I'd like to change in my life (mainly, my job that makes me miserable), I get past that and I'm a happy person.

I am currently in a situation that in my wildest dreams I never thought I would be in. Honestly because its been going on so long and never seems to be ending I don't know if I'll ever be happy again!

Before this happened I had mini problems here and there, but for the most part was happy.

I do however believe in not dwelling in the negatives so the only way I can get through things is with humor which is probably why my DIS count is so high! So thanks everyone for helping me keep my mind off things!
