Happiness is a Now Thing. Don't Wait Until Later to be Happy.

Is it impossible for some people to be happy? If so, do you jettison them from your life, keep them at a distance, Etc.?

Not sure if it's right or wrong, but I jettison them once I've had my fill of negative vibes.

This wouldn't apply with those with medical conditions that make them see the world this way. (Edit - Added this sentence.)

I separate myself from any situation/people like that. .. I refuse to be surrounded by negativity .. it's just not a healthy thing. Period.
Moaning and groaning about life and/or other people never got anyone into a good mental position.

very important ....

Yes we can't have troubled people bothering us with their negative life events. Just give us happy thoughts so we don't have to think.

I'm speaking of the chronically unhappy, even rabidly hateful people who see no good in anything. Sorry, but I'm not giving up my happiness so I can sit in misery with them for the rest of my days. Nor will I be a person who encourages or enables negative or self-destructive behavior in another.

Again - This wouldn't apply with those with medical conditions that make them see the world this way.

Think I'm kinda like baseball...give them 3 strikes if they insist on "dumping" on me...or if they are "vampire" energy people. Of course, close friends and family are the exceptions.

If I determine they are really hurting and trying to help themselves figure it out, they got my shoulder. Otherwise, after 3 "they're out".

This month I started off sick for over two weeks. so when I felt better that was a cause for celebration. And I won a little money in the lottery. That always makes me feel better too.

Greeting 😊
I too was sick over two weeks, I knew as many as I had, living good absorbed the heart and mind, celebrating life every day as I see the morning sunshine, the air of spring, the flowers growing in my heart, the smile in your heart, that is a cause for celebrationil_570xN.716586351_dppw.jpg
 
I basically sit in the middle of the fence. Reality for me is knowing there is good and bad out there and I definitely read about both online.
Happiness for us was moving back to Colorado, even with the winter months here and with my wife having somewhat of a hard time finding a job. But, since we had already lived here before, for 5 1/2 years, we already knew what we were moving back to. Florida was no long for us. Glad to be back and seeing The Rockies close to us.
 
I had several things that made me happy this month. My hubby had a rather large medical bill which I just got a notice saying AARP and medicare paid for all but our $50.00 deductible. I can handle that.

I am progressing nicely with my new sewing hobby.

Yesterday, I found that all the veggie and flower seeds were stocked in the stores. I spent about an hour pouring over them. I bought my supply of seeds and some potting soil so I can start some indoors later next month.

One of my New Years resolutions was to take charge of the finances. Long over due. The hubby is helping and I managed the checking account and bills and other related items quite well. Might not sound like a big deal to many of you,so many of the women here seem so independent and confidant. Me? Not so much,but I'm learning and feeling a bit less stressed.
 
My son and his spouse joined us for dinner at our favorite Asian restaurant for dinner recently. That made me very happy.
We officially retired this month and are planning some travels in the future.
