Are You Happy?

I'm content most of the time, John.  I am glad to see each new day and try not to moan about the weather. A dead person can't see the rain running down the window. I love going for walks in the countryside, come rain or shine. Family and good friends make me happy. I'm happy when I am painting, though it often ends in the bin. I am optimistic by nature, and whenever a problem is getting me down my favourite words are 'Tomorrow is another day'. Courtesy of Scarlett O'Hara. 

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands....

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands....

If you're happy and you know it...

And you really want to show it....

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!!

Here, here, well said Sue!

I love the way you put that, Krissy.  I put a quote from Abe Lincoln on the quotes thread a while back - "Most people are as happy as they make their minds up to be."  What you said reminds me of that quote.

I guess I'm pretty happy.  The days that I don't want to get out of bed are almost non existent, although I have had them.  I think, for me, I have an underlying joy which isn't dependent on external circumstances, and I think that's related to my faith.  I have literally prayed my way out of feeling down.  One of the things that helps me be happy is to concentrate on the good things in my life, for which I feel very blessed, and not dwell on the less than perfect.  I think about the vast majority of the world's population that would trade places with me in a heartbeat.  I think any unhappiness I feel is probably the restlessness we all feel to be caused by the drudgery of daily living.  I still have reqrets and doubts, but no fear.  And I feel blessed in so many ways - good family, great husband, wonderful friends (including all of you).
