Kayboff, those are words to live by. I've heard of so many people that are monetarily wealthy, but miserable. And just the reverse. It's how you use what you have and who you use it with that gives you true happiness.

I have had nothing, and I have had everything. I must say that when I had nothing, I appreciated things more. It gave me a great sense of achievement to save up and buy something that I needed. Fortunately that was when my children were young, and they have the same outlook as they learn ed from experience. Now, I guess, I am a bit self indulgent, but I have learned that having money and possesions does not bring happiness. Good health, friends,family, and an enjoyment and appreciation of things around you, does.

you in straightforward terms nailed the two bands that make me the happiest, yet i do no longer smile when I hear. i'm too busy growling and screaming alongside. My well-known time to hearken to Despised Icon is in the vehicle at finished volume. yet I in many cases headbang so perplexing mutually as utilising it fairly is risky for each individual else in the vehicle and on the line.

That is so true! I have always believed that we don't miss what we never had ." Things "can never make us truly happy. They might keep us occupied ,but not for long. Sharing and caring for others is the secret to real happiness.

True. I have been busy making the best of everything for most of my life. And I'm not complaining. I'm not at all acquisitive!

You take what you're given and do your best with it and give back as much as possible. That's what makes for happiness.

You are so right. It seems the most unhappy are those that seem to have everything materially.
