Enjoying what you have

Yes - in broad sense everything in life is enjoyment only provided you have that creative eye to see and enjoy. But the wonder is several of them have sad faces just for nothing. A free smile also will not be shared with such people. How are they leading life - I some times wonder.

specially the mothers or the housemakers who stay back at home and do look after their children, cook food , watch tv and do rest of all the housework, they really feel like taking a break and go out for a while and also on a vacation as i am a stay at home mom i follow the same house routine work and i would surely feel like going out and have a change but for those who go out early in the morning or whatever the time is and go work for the whole day and comeback home tired and they just want to relax at home and if they find time they would prefer to stay back at home and relax and do the housework and stay with childrens. you know always a person wants the opposite things in life.

We have to be contented of what we have.... You are correct Madonna...We have to enjoy of what we have... First of all, we have to appreciate that we have our family... Food and a house to live with... And myLot to discuss with!!!

I try to enjoy life period but the thing i love is my family I am a family person and I love to stay in touch and get together there is nothing like family but also taking time to enjoy yourself as well....

i agree madonna. yes you can have pleasure from travelling or fast cars, but when u take stock of what u have at home, the simple pleasures if you will, you realise how much you have. time spent with the kids, or having an afternoon where me and the kids have a bake up in the kitchen - going up to the allotment is one of my favourites as you can relax, have fresh air, see results of your labours - and kill them blasted weeds! - but that serves to let your mind declutter of everyday problems that are getting to you! more people should take stock of what they hav and truly value before moaning about their 'poor lot' in life i think x

I think if you want to enjoy your life .you can also need not spend a lot of money. you can travel and spend your vocation with your family just by yourself .you need not spend much.if you are unemployed.I suggest you that enjoying the spare time.

Thats very nice. I plan to do the same but right now I don't feel emotional okay. Its like there is something that I don't know. The day is not enough to be called a day. Anyway I am happy for you. Happy every day &(^._.^)&

Hi madonna: Wow I love, madonna so I like you. Actually I'm listening "Like a Prayer" while answering your discussion. I think the same. We don't need to have millions to enjoy life simply because hapiness is present on the most simple things that life gave us. For example, I enjoy being here on Mylot, I enjoy sleeping and give me a permission to sleep a little bit more when I can, I enjoy simply when I listen to the artist I like the most and I enjoy life doing simple things like going to the theatre to watch a film. That's because hapiness is not present on the things we have but on the way we see the world. Thanks for starting this discussion Madonna. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

ya ,absolutely correct

Hi since we retired our days of lovely holidays are over!! However I live in a beautiful spot, I have some fantastic places within walking distance, I have five wonderful kids, 9 and a half wonderful grandchildren and I think that I am a very lucky woman with the life I have. We always have plenty of good food on the table and are warm and well cared for. I am certainly enjoying what I have!!

That is absolutely right, it is sometimes the free and small things that are the most enjoyable. And the ones we remember way after they are gone. So we should all cherish the small things really! I have to say that I need to get better at that myself though... hmm!
