Yes! I'm even older than Harry (61) as I will be 63 this year, and it seems, the older we grow, the happier we get. I'm in Sydney, waiting for my beloved to be ready, then we're going out to lunch.
The most important thing is that my children and grandchildren are well. My son has been very unhappy, but is coming out of it now. I'm healthy, have enough money and lots of good friends. And three poems published ! All I don't have is a waistline. But when I had one - was I happy ? Nope.
Thanks for asking, I hope you're enjoying your life too!

Yes I am. I have a very open and inquiring mind, so I am able to take a lot in. I have been taught many great things, and I am always looking to learn from the world around me. I always do as well. My health is fine and I intend to stay that way. I am also getting more and more positive and easy-going as I get older.
I do have my ups and downs, but these run parallel to the quality of my thinking at the time (I believe that your thoughts create your reality). I have found that the times in my life when I have been happiest, are when I have been thinking positively. I had a spell up until Christmas when life had gone stale and very negative and nothing was really working for me at all.
I realised that I had snapped back into a rut of negativet hinking, so I have make a conscious effort to elevate my mind. Things are now a good deal better than they were, and I feel that I am now back on track.
The good thing about my life is that though I have alrady learnt a lot, I am only 28 and still have plenty of life in me (that in itself, is the outcome of a positive belief). Plenty more still to learn, see, do and experience. I also feel that as I get older, my experiences 'transcend' in quality and magnitude. There are still plenty of things for me yet to achieve, and this is what keeps my life alive.
My life is an ever-improving work in progress.

Well I am suffering from low self-esteem at the moment and stress as I have many exams coming up. I'm also underweight and have started to go bald, and have recently fallen out with a friend over her drug habit- so no in that respect.
However, I have a place at a good University, my family and friends are all enjoying peace and good health, I am not in debt or financial trouble and I have my future to look forward to. It's raining hard outside but I am warm and dry, and a film I want to see comes out at the cinema next week. There is so much bad, bad stuff that I could be experiencing right now so I'm glad of what I do have...so yes, I am enjoting my life. Thanks for asking- I hope you are too!

Yes, I am, and I hope that you are too.
It seems a bit sappy, I suppose, but I really and truly get a kick out of life. I love being able to ask questions and wonder about things, to enjoy the sheer beauty of nature, to hang out with my friends and have a good laugh, and to look into the future and imagine for myself a fulfilling life.
Society would probably deem me a loser, as I'm "just" a high school kid with no significant other, fashion sense, or the latest gadgets. But I love me, and I know that my family and friends love me. I'm in good health, and I've a good education. I have dreams that I can and will achieve. Society can pretty much stuff it, because that is not real happiness. So, yes, I VERY much enjoy my life!

i just had a fantastic week. nothing went wrong. everyone was nice to me. and then i got home yesterday, put on some rock music, sat down on my floor and cried. i didn't stop for about half an hour. i thought my life was great. turns out, that was the problem with it. my life is not fantastic. i just got out of a really hard time, in which i lost all my friends, nearly commited suicide, fell in love with someone who doesn't love me, and went out with several people who i don't even like that much, just to make myself feel wanted.
but this last week, i got back quite a few friends and i felt great about my life. so why can't i stop crying?

Good question
Answer - NO!
There are many aspects of my life that do not make me happy!
The good news is i have recently come to understand and accept that I am the one who has to change.
I have to change my self or change my circumstances.
Other people may have a positive or negative input to the issue - but only I have the power to change it.
Wish me luck.
Hope you all find peace and love.

Why on earth wouldn't it get posted?
Yes thankyou Charlie, I love my life.
Sometimes things are rough, but that's just life. I love my work, get on well with my wife and kids and I have a few friends whom I love.
What more could I ask?
And you, Charlie, are you enjoying your life? I hope so.

Yes I am!
After the last few years sucking a major weener, I can honestly say that my life is the best I've ever had! I'm old enough to not be young, and young enough to not be old!
