My wife and I have been together for 38 years now. She is my recipe for happiness and hopefully I am hers. We are now retired and living the life we dreamed about for all the years of hard work. We were self employed most of the time. I was an Electrical Contractor and we also owned a grocery store for 17 years that she ran. We bought houses and apartments for investment and we also bought our retirement home while we were working. We are now living in that retirement house on the lake with our private boat dock and all is absolutely wonderful. We were never rich but we worked our behinds off many years to get this. I couldn't be happier and we are really enjoying what we have now. Everything we own is paid for and we have no bills. We sold 2 houses and our grocery store and paid everything off and bought a new car and paid off our truck. What I'm trying to say is there is no free ride for most of us. It takes hard work and a goal in mind to make it. I wake up every morning and look out over the lake and I just can't help but smile a very big smile.

We make our own selves happy.Most people do not realise this.They are always looking for someone or something to do it for them.My recipe for happiness is :
Count your blessings every day:
Be grateful for what you have
not what you want.....
Love with all your heart.
Live each day as it is your last.
Make sure you invite God in for breakfast and supper every day.
Give a smile to everyone you meet....They are FREE and make people feel good.
Believe you can...
TRY!!!

Everywhere you go, everything you do, every life you touch; leave it better than you found it.
After ward, never look outside for commendation for these accomplishments. They are your personal and precious gems to cherish and outside handling will only dull the purity of the cut.
