Happiness is no more than a choice so I AM ALWAYS HAPPY!! We have hard economic times but no one will starve in USA.If I needed a job, I would get on the internet and get a list of the 500 largest corporations in USA. Apply at all 500 companies. Surely 1 job is out there out of 500 companies.If I lost it all, I would go out at night and watch the stars. They will remind you that there are things more important than material things. Lastly, there are two ways to make a rich man. 1. get lots of money or 2. Have few wants. Do we all really need all the STUFF? Probably not! The best things in life have always been FREE!!

I definitely wouldn't say that I'm always happy with my life. But I think that I'm at least content with my life. I'm happy enough, I suppose.

I have to say that at the moment I can't say that Im very happy with life! I got made redundant at the beginning of this year and have only managed to get a part time job which means I have no extra cash to put into savings so i can move into my own flat which makes me even more unhappy. It means i can't treat myself to make me happy either. My friends haven't been real true friends lately and I feel I haven't been able to go to them to talk to them lately so I feel really let down by them as well.

velezmaya! - how wonderful it would be to pursue a worthwhile purpose in life through hundreds, and even thousands of years! would that not bring us real happin- ess? certainly it would! - that is exactly what god purposes for humankind. yes, an eternity of purposeful life and happiness lies ahead for those who will be privi- leged to live in the earthly paradise of god.

i am not always happy but i am often content. we struggle to pay our bills and to survive and i am in almost constant pain to some degree but i am content with my life. i love my hubby, my kids my family, like my job (i work 3 days a week) and i like who i am. there is a big difference between being happy and being content.

I do not have a job right now, but I have family who loves me so much. I get to bond and spend a lot of time with my mom every day. I have friends who are always there for me. I still get to travel. I still get to go to the beach. I eat more than 3 times a day. I go to the gym. I am losing weight. I am recovering from my surgery. I have a house. I am very much blessed. Yes, I am happy.
