Answer 1

HI Lolita,

I believe that Happiness is a state of mind. Today my mind is happy. i can only go one day at a time. great question

Answer 2

Nope not right now.
I'm usually a very up person, but this has been a rough couple of years.
This year has been terrible.
I am about 90 percent over menopause, of which I've gone 5 yrs. natural !! Whew..

I haven't been able to find anywork. So emotions have been extremly high when going on a job interview, then extreme low when I don't get the job.

I'm going to lose my home, bad economy, I just can't hang on anymore.
Health went real bad just over 2 yrs. ago which keeps me from being able to do all the things I use to do. I can't even wait tables or I would have already done that.

I've totally disolved my relationship with everyone in my family except 2 people and for very good reasons or I would have never done that. I do actually feel better about that, at least I don't have to hear abusive language from my mother anymore. I'm in my 40's and want nothing to do with having a relationship. I beleive I need to take care of me for the first time in my life after raising 2 children on my own. They've decided and told me they no longer want to see me and have accussed me of being crazy, then just hung up the phone, no explanation, no self defense, no time to ask them what are they talking about. So, I only miss my grandchildren something terrible.

And, I have worked so hard all of my life, I am ready to lose everything I have worked for. I feel like now since I'm pretty much broke, my kids don't want anything to do with me. That's just how I feel, I was the one always there to hand out money when they needed it and put them through college.

So, that made me depressed, hurt, angry and now the holidays are coming up.

So no, I am not yet back to being as happy as I want to be.
This is not what I had planned to happen at my age. This was not my goal in life. So, I've been thrown a few curve balls and I'm feeling better everyday.

I do enjoy answering questions in hopes that I can share some of my experiences in life with others and hopefully help them feel better.
I am a giver, I know that, I'm not being conceited, I'm just happier when I help someone out. So I'll be volunteering at a local church this Thanksgiving.

I don't want the holiday to set me back. It will be very hard knowing my kids will be with their dad and his family. My mom stopped having Thanksgiving 10 yrs ago. So, I've cooked for my immediate family that has grown and enjoyed every minute of it. This year, I won't do any shopping and I use to spend no less than $2,500.00 just on Christmas .

So I feel strange that I haven't started shopping and realized I'm just about done by this time of year.

It's been a terrible year and it's so very true, if you don't have your health, you don't have much.
I guess I'm still in shock that things have gotten so bad, so I'm trying to get motivated to move I only have about a month left here. I know where I've been, I just don't know where I'm going and that scared the heck out of me.

I'm going to smile and help those that are worse off than me for Thanksgiving and be thankful I can at least do that. I'm not going to sit in this house and cry and feel sorry for myself.

If I could get some income coming in, I would be able to plan better and that sure would make me feel very happy, because the way things are going....I just may end up in a homeless shelter myself, I do not know.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all ~

Answer 4

I am very happy at this stage of my life, I have raised 3 level headed kids that don't hate me, I am happily married, enjoy my job, love my home, still go dancing with my husband.

When he comes home in 14 months for good, that will make me the happiest.
