i'm okay with life... i'm not as happy as i want to or could be probably. i regret things but i try not too... lots of things make me happy or unhappy. playing with my dog makes me happy getting to see my friends having fun, taking pictures. spending time with my family. having alone time, listening to music..all those things make me happy. not getting to do those things make me unhappy.

I am very happy with my life, I have a wonderful husband who I adore and three children that I would do anything for under the son. I am able to pay my bills every month and can still do some extras. I have things in life that I wish I would have done differently but I do not dwell on them, there is no reason to. I can not go back and change what I did or did not do, I can only change what happens today. I have no guarantee of tomorrow so there is no point in stressing over that, All I have is right now, this minute, this day, this time and I am happy in what I am doing, where I am and what my promises of tomorrow are. What would make me sad, if my children were sick, if I were to lose my husband, if something were to happen to someone in my family. But instead of dwelling on the what if and this could happen I try to tell them every day I love them, and that they are the world to me.

For the most part, I would say that I am Happy in life and things are going good. I have learned many years ago that we are in charge of our destiny with god's help. If there is something that we do not like about our life, and wish it would change, in reality it is up to us to make things happen. For me, some of the things that make me Happy is my husband, my relationship with Jesus as my personal Savior, my friends, and Writing. When I am feeling down I know all I can do is call on God in every situation trusting him for the Best, and writing things down that I might need to vent on, and go from there. Yes, there are things that I am regretting in my life, but I never let them control me as well. Like I said it is all up to me, and I am in control with the help of Jesus in my life, so anything that happens from here whether it be Good or Bad is OK.

i am happy go lucky man, very calm and not shouting on anybody but sometimes i get irritated by my boss. He is the only person who makes me angry but whenever i come back home and get a hug from my sweet little (4 years) daughter, i feel cool, stress free man and after getting refreshed, i play with them...this is how, i make myself happy. i find happiness in my family...if they are happy, i am happy and if they are sad i make them happy...

I think bosses in general will always be a pain in the neck no matter how sweet or nice they are.

Hey, Well I think that I am reasonably happy in my life, I mean I don't really have everything I want right now, like I don't even have enough money to do everything. But then again, I am quite adequately living my life. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I'm happy and thankful, but I know I could be happier. A lot of things make me happy: traveling, road trips, beach trips, spending time with close friends and family, going to the gym, boxing, a good meal, etc etc etc.

I'm pretty happy in life overall. I have a good family, and although we don't make a lot of money, we have enough. I love playing with my dog and cat and hanging out with my friends. When I'm upset, I like to stay busy and clean or make something. Then when I focus on the work, I calm down and feel much better because I've done something productive! I'll also give myself a little spa-at-home time. I'll trim and paint my nails, exfoliate my skin, and use nice-smelling lotions. If I have time, I'll play with my hair. I always feel better with a pedicure!
