Are you happy with your lot in life?

Fairly content I think.

Yes. On account of not being short of a bob or two.

Digger · Admin

Yes. Definitely.

Magica · Go Outside

Yes, got a good life. I count my blessings.

I don't think money equates to happiness.

Some loaded people are miserable as sin.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the family I have. Spending quality time with them is probably when I am happiest.
Also, like Mags said, and like my mum always said, counting your blessings is one good way of realising life is good.

Vita · Know It All

Yes, I am, very much so.

As folk here know, I suffered a near fatal illness two and a half years ago and it change how I see things.

Health is the most important thing.

I feel I've been given a second chance and I'm making the most of it.

You've done what Phil can't, or won't. And hats off to you. That takes a lot of strength.

I agree with Digger, and people who have followed your ups and downs over the years will surely agree.

Also, I think people have to suffer the pitfalls life throws at them to really appreciate it when times are good.

No one has it good all the time, illness, deaths, addictions, things that we think we can't get over, but we do, and it makes us more thankful when life gets better.

Well done V, you deserve your life back. Go get it girl 😁

Syl throughout my life good or bad, I'm still here. I wake up in the.morning. I love the life I've been given, very lucky life, and do the best I can to help others too.

My dad always said no matter what happens to you in life, don't pity yourself, because there's always someone worse off than you. I've lived my life with that mantra.

Your dad was right too.

My father in law used to say the same thing.

He had polio as a child and was never fit. He couldn't walk at all for the last 30 years of his life, yet he always appreciated what he did have.

Appreciation breeds happiness imo.
Some of the smallest things, like sitting out on a sunny day, wearing comfy socks when it's cold, enjoying a good meal, they all bring comfort and satisfaction, which = happiness.

Big gestures are fleeting.

Pleasure and happiness are close cousins but not very alike at all.

In fact pleasure seekers seem to move ever further away from happiness... I know I've been there.

Where is pleasure to be found and how much does it cost?

I would say pleasure can be very nice, but often it's short lived....maybe Maddog would find that out a few days after his whorefest.

Happiness is more a state of mind. People can have a happy disposition or a miserable one.

Yes I'm guessing the word pleasure means very nice thankyou!
