who and why?

I'm no longer able to walk on my own and I'm content to be who I'm and I really like myself.
I use to be very busy and active. I didn't let any grass grow under my feet and even now I keep my mind very busy with so many projects that I'll probably never get them all done.
I love my home and I love to be home.
I'm thankful for all my blessings.
But there are times when I see my neighbor, who is also a grandmother, out playing with her little grandchild and I wish I could get up and go for a walk.
But, then I think of my dearest friend who had a stroke that paralyzed on her right side and her ability to speak.
I really have no right to complain, I have my brain and I'm able to communicate with my loved ones and that's what counts most.
I love life.

Like Debi, envious of those who are all snuggled up, cozy and keeping each other warm right now. I haven't had a 'snuggler' in quite a while. Otherwise, I really am not. I look good for my age, ( I sure don't mean to sound like a bragger here as I am very humble) I'm now getting healthy again since I had my knee surgery, I am happy with where I live, I love my life, I'm a lucky lady. How would I dare be really envious of anyone else? I haven't always had a great life and it has taken years to get here, but I'm here now, and I'm grateful.

No I don't feel envious of anyone, and never really have in the
past. But if I had to be, I would be envious of other women
my age, without aches and pains and are in very good health,
without any fear of a shortened lifestyle, looming over them.
Come to think of it, I have a friend who is very healthy and is
a couple years older than I. And she has the vitality and energy to walk five miles a day, and goes on several out of
the country vacations each year and does alot of walking and
exploring when she's at different locations. And she has a
mother who's in the same condition at 87. Just good genes
I guess. (sigh)

Oh, interesting question... I feel envious a little of a girl at work who my boyfriend is finding himself attracted too.... She just has it very much together at the moment, and I am in a point at my life right now where I seem to be just flittering around aimlessly for a bit.... I don't particualy like that about myself, hence I get envious.....
^^ Icotope.... I have felt envious of myself in another time before too... I think that is part of what I am feeling now also... It is an odd feeling indeed, isnt it?

Nope, and I doubt that your do either. I am happy for those who do better than I , sad for those who do worse, and in the middle, don't much think about it. Think about your life...how many would be envious of you? There was a time when I envied (or at least admired) my brother because he was so successful monitarily...then I found out that he was envious, or admired the fact that I had so many friends...success is in the eye of the beholder. So, I envy no one, for I do not really know what goes on in their heads. Of course, I am new to this, so what do I know?

Not so much, but in general I'm envious of those younger who have a lot more time to do all the fun things I now dare to do!

I cheated. I looked at the answers. And if you live near the beach, yes I am envious of you. Seriously, I am looking to move close to the ocean. Overlooking it if possible. Why did I think you lived in the middle of the country?

This is soooo petty and rediculous.
It's 9:18 am and I'm sitting in my living room beside an undecorated Christmas tree with half the bulbs burning and piles of wrapping paper, some gifts, and all the ornaments scattered. Walking in this mess s almost impossible so I'm sitting....escaping into the world of YA.
I made it out to see the neighbors completed pretty as a picture Christmas wonderland.
I hate her for having created Christmas so beautifully, so soon ........I mean I envy her.

I feel envious of everyone at work because they all have families and are talking about what gifts they have been buying and about all their plans for Christmas. I have no family. No gifts, so I will be home alone.
