Are You Happy?

I was asked this question this morning and without giving it much thought I responded "well I am not unhappy"

Sounds like a easy question to respond to doesn't it?

What say you?
 

I can lie in bed as long as I want, have half a pound of bacon in a well buttered roll for breakfast, watch naughty films for the rest of the morning, have a double portion of fries for lunch, spend the afternoon in the pub, have a 14 inch with extra pepperoni and cheese for tea, and then relax for the rest of the evening.

What's not to be happy about?

If all that makes you happy, good on you. Like they say--------Ignorance is bliss.
 
Actually it was after a very stressful suicide attempt. So I guess the birth was much easier than the alternative. The after results have been excellent.

Ick! :playful: That wouldn't do it for me.

Of course, life has it's ups and downs and we all have regrets, whether we admit it or not. But I can honestly say yes, I'm happy most of the time.
 
The question comes at a very difficult time in my life. I lost my sweet heart of 56 years back in March, and my younger son a year ago in May. Its hard to be really "happy" under those circumstances. On the other hand, basically writing the final chapter in my life, prompts me to reflect on where I've been. I've had a wonderful life. At least in my own mind. Of course there are some regrets, but I was lucky enough to have the full set of all of those things that really matter. I can not really say I am "happy" at this point, but rather very satisfied with where I've been. I guess " content" would be a better word.
I still find things to laugh at. Observing the absurdity of much human behavior is a never ending source of amusement for me.

I'm very glad your attempt wasn't successful Lenore, and that you are in a happy place now in your life. I wish you the best.

Thanks SB. I'm about as strong as a bowl of oatmeal, but with a little sugar in it. :D

Underock, I think you undervalue your own strength, many people in your position would be in pieces.

Thanks Shali. I have my moments. Just playing it out. No sense in making other people miserable. Watching the human brain deteriorate from the inside kind of keeps me amused. :)
