Happy: I fed my talents. I'm a painter and a poet, but I work an office job (Something's got to pay for that canvas!), and sometimes work gets too ingrained in my head and I have no creativity. So, recently I grabbed my sketchbook and my notebooks and created for the first time in a very long while. It felt so rewarding and the release was so renewing. I was reminded of who I really am at my core, and that brought me joy.
Sad: My boyfriend suffers from depression, and so there are good days and bad days for him...and this requires a lot of strength and optimism, to be positive for him, and care for him. and on a particularly bad spell, recently I found myself really stressed out and I began to think that it was my fault he was feeling depressed, that I was somehow failing him by not being able to make him happy, etc. etc. These are not uncommon thoughts for loved ones of those with depression, but it made me sad because I am usually so much stronger and braver and smarter than to be so wilty. I was doubting myself, and misevaluating the situation. It's better now, though. Those moments of weakness, they just bring you down.

After more than a year of writing, I finished my first novel and sent it to a publisher, which made me very happy. Over the last few years, I've put on more than a little weight, and in my opinion, ruined what used to be a smokin' body. That has made me sad, but I'm working on it.

I did nothing that made me feel really happy, and that is what makes me feel very very sad. I am home bound and am very lonely.
Unfortunately the highlight of my day is answering questions, and helping people. Especially when i get a best answer.. Not for the points, but because I helped someone.

One the thing that have done for the last 13 1/2 years is pay child support for my children and it came to an end recently as my youngest child has done her school . As well I always paid more than my court order including their benefits and vacations , used cars and repairs and tuition's . My X-wife always complained that it was never enough . She re opened the divorce and launch a civil law suit against me , and she lost in court , my case was flawless. My x-wife mean time lost her second husband because he just left her , she started to gamble and lost the matrimonial home that I had left to her and my children . Since that time I have gained my children and one of them is living with me . My son says "I am sorry I never move in with you sooner Pa " I overheard my x wife saying to her new boyfriend pointing to me , that man was never late on his payments and never had an NSF in his life .As well I convinced her that being friends was the best for our children and I worked really hard to forgive her and I did . I had to brake with my girlfriend before Christmas 06 , and I am OK now .

Happy: I went to sleep last night had a dream about my pet who died. He jumped into my arms and licked my face.
Sad: I walked by Sears Tower in Chicago this morning in the rain. I got all wet and the wind nearly knocked me over and broke my umbrella and I thought, how the heck long can I keep doing this before I just sell everything and go back to L.A.?

I was true to my inner hearts knowing recently; that made me feel deeply satisfied.
It also made me sad, however, because it caused me to become distant from those who are insincere.
But lasting happiness comes at the cost of real sacrifice, and real honesty; both of which can be painful.

what i've done lately that has made me happy is the fact that for once i feel like im doing something with my life and a job that i like and feel confident for. i'm a web designer for a human resource company and do web design related things and a few graphic designings. I'm getting to the point after 6 years to understand what happiness feels like and what confidence feels like.
as for sad, i feel sad that at my age of 24 i havent gone dating yet and havent thought myself how to communicate around girls or a group of people, i feel sad that i havent seen what a kiss feels like or having that warm feeling of a girl in my life and me in her life. having someone to talk to and communicate with. I'm not much of a loner but i tend to isolate myself alot putting my full focus on success in life.

Having the thought of being happy or sad or anything else has made me happy or sad or anything else.

Splitting up with my husband 4.5 years ago. The happiest I have ever been for my whole life.
It also makes me sad because I feel sorry for him. He couldn't get over the breakup and lost everything. This always gives me a pain in my heart when I feel his sentiments.
I wish and pray he will move on positively.
