How many people are actually genuinely happy with their life?

Are you truly happy with the life and lifestyle you live? Do you wish you lived a different way? (And we all know a little extra money here and there would be nice, but money doesn't create true happiness, it just cushions some of the blows we are dealt).

I,m basically pretty happy with my life. Wasn,t happy at first when I got sick, but , I,ve learned to live with it and get along. Since I have learned how, I say I have a great life. Sure money would be nice. But, here in Canada, I,m basically looked after. Health care and meds are free for me, so I don,t have to shell out for those things. So , that is a big help.I could definitely use money, just like everyone else. But I cannot work a 9-5 job. Was going to be a doctor till I got sick. I just plum done got sick in the 90's. I was not a happy camper then.But , ater a few years and learning to deal,I managed to get a computer and learned HTML and how to fix computers pretty good.Now, I just bought my first .com just last month.And I think things are just going to go up from here. I was pretty frustrated last month with the amount I got with Disability, so, I put my foot in it and bought the domain and thought to go ahead and start something and go from there.Basically , what caused me to go right ahead and buy the domain and hosting was just simply coming to the end of my rope with what I get for disability. Hopefully this site is going to pan out and I can get off disability and support myself totally.

Yeah I definitely do. But wouldn't it be great if just one person was actually happy, and wouldn't change a thing? Thank you for your response!
