Are you happy with your life?

I love my life. I have Jesus in my heart! I am happily married to my husband of 8 1/2 years and have a 15 month old daughter. We have a roof over our head, clothes on our back and food on our table. I also feel like I have the best family and friends in my life that anyone could have. The question that came to my mind is "Am I happy with my life?" I would have to say that I am 85%-90% happy with the way my life is. I recently lost my job and God has and still is so richly blessing me and providing for me and my family everyday. There are some things in my life that I would like to change, but I will have to wait for the right time for some of them. Others I could change right now. Some things that come to mind are having another child, moving closer to my hometown, getting closer to God, finding a job/career that I am happy with and enjoy doing, getting my bachelor's degree (after being out of school for years), etc.... What about you? Are you happy with your life? Why or Why not?

Happiness is very elusive subject-I find concluding that am happy with my life very hard. But I thank God for He has permitted that i stay alive to this day. I try to make my life fulfilled, but the business of staying live on this planet has never been easy-it takes alot from us and the inequalities of opportunities and general well being makes living a perpetual struggle. aroten2000, too much struggle takes away all the bonuses of a happy life. I struggle too much and every day of my life I keep wishing the living God whom i believe cushions my struggles and lightens my burdens of trying to stay alive here on earth! For now, happiness is still a far fetched dream for me and my family!
