What a wonderful life!Do you have that feeling?  

Oh, yes! I see your happy avatar and think I feel just like that dog, running free along the water's edge. I've always been a happy person excited by the sunrise and other amazing inspiring miracles of nature, but since we retired I feel that way every day. Yet I've seen and suspect you have also, people who really have had more advantages and more opportunities in life and live in similarly beautiful places who are just miserable. Much of this is just about the choices people make and the consequences of their own actions in my view.

The internet is such a wonderful tool because not only does it allow us to make friends because of similar interests choosing them from all over the world, rather than limiting our circle of acquaintances to those who live near us whether they are compatible or not, but we can buy things from all over the world.

We can live in remote areas without giving up urban conveniences. We can get frozen wheat grass shipping in ice and delivered to the Mohave desert in August and it survives intact! We can buy clothes in the size we need and color we want when the local shops only have the size that doesn't fit and the colors that are left over. I can buy fabric to sew and pencils for drawing when there isn't a fabric shop or an art supply store in over 100 miles. What is there not to like about this life?

What perfect BLISS! I remember those feelings well, though now its get up slowly and
take a pill to feel human... enjoy this as much as you can, as long as you can. There
is so much pure beauty in life!

Hello dear aaidjs. I am so happy that you have such a wonderful feeling about your life with each day coming and those wonderful and majestic ollive trees around where you live with more than two hundred years' history. It is such a beautiful place where you live.

It is the same here with me that I enjoy my life each day when I am happy and energetic and healthy. Life is the best gift even given to us, which I appreciate very much.

Thanks for sharing with us your feeling about the wonderful life as always. Enjoy your life forever, my dear friend.

yea its really wonderful to be close to nature and good people who make things things happen positively in your life, it hard to find such people here in africa,lots of people make life miserable here for you thats why i love keeping to myself except for some few good people around

You are an amazing uplifting person! I love your discussions, keep up the good work. Where you are sounds absoulutely fabulous! Wish I was there with you!...Hugs, Lori

Actually life can't be all about happyness but I would say that with my husband I have the time of my life everyday, I don't need luxury or lots of money to be happy I just need him, but yeah there are times when you feel down because you have confront problems in your life, I can say I have a wonderful life because I have my husband with me all the time, and whatever comes next with him I feel I can conquer the world, so whatever obstacles come to my way will never stop from saying that I have a wonderful life since this man who is my husband now came to my life.

Hi Silvana wow what a beautiful discussion. You truely do love life I can see that. Good for you. I wish more people felt the way you do. I use wake up like that too but now I wake up to terrible pain. Im going to have surgery soon. Then maybe I can feel like that again. Dont ever change you sound like a wonderful person. Hugs!

Hello aaidj,Thanks for your post,yes life is truly beautiful if we know how to make it beautiful or what exactly we want
want out of ourlife, for me I was born and brought up and working in the most hitech busy cities of the world, and sometimes I get the feeling of suffocations living inside
artificials.The nature around you have described I had been
many times as a tourist,also spent there for 15 days holiday and those places are actually my real dreamland, my real place
where I can relate my soul with the nature fortunately my girlfriend(my would be wife)too have the same taste and I amworking very hard to get an early retirement from my jobs so that we can spend our rest of the life peacefully in between nature.Your description carried me away within inside that nature and I felt the nature around you,its so soothing and relaxing and reminded
me onece more what exactly my soul wants thanks very much again.

Well I dont often sit and think about it that much because it often makes me sad of all the wrong in the world. I can be happy and all and think positive but I start thinking of all the children sufering in the world, the wars all around us and pain and I feel guilty for not beeng able to help them. I take every day as a blessing and try not to think too deep.
But yes nature does make me feel happy and blessed but it is a pity that we dont have time to enjoy nature that much and there is less of the beautiful places every day.

Have you looked at yourself? You must have a heart of gold! Truly your kind and encouraging words are always welcome from an online friend! I too love life...love seeing the sunrise....and the sunset. I love my family and my home. Truly we have been blessed! Thanks Silvana
