Life is full of surprises, both good and bad. Life is essencial and beautiful. Life is what makes everything. Life should be enjoyed and experienced in ways one never thought possible. What do you do to enjoy it? Have you thought of doing something daring like skydiving, or doing something challenging like changing your career and doing something new? Maybe you want to take a long awaited vacation somewhere far away. Do you know how to enjoy life and if so how have you?

I agree with you. Life really is full of surprises. We all prefer the good surprises. There are so many things that we can do to enjoy life fuller. I'm working on doing better with my spendings and striving to save instead. I have a ways to go though . Once I do better at this, my savings with allow us to travel more, I will be able to spend time with my daughter more as I will not have to stress about emergencies coming up. This summer my husband and I went on a weekend getaway. We had a great time and we are looking forward to our next vacation.

I hope that you and your husband will be able to take a vacation sometime. Things are often tight I understand that. I think that taking a vacation really does draw a couple closer together. I had debated along time about the vacation as it was going to be a surprise for my husband but I wasn't sure if I thought he deserved to get that. . But I continued with my planning and he did improve in ways that I wanted to see and so we took our trip and had a great time. Even though the trip was tailored to him I was happy to see how excited he was about everything we did. I will keep saving. As Our next trip I'm hoping will be a cruise to Hawaii.

I know how the savings go. My husband and I have not had a weekend getaway in, well, never actually. It would be nice. The way things in our lives our now, I'd be surprised if we could ever afford to do that. I do prefer the good surprises. I hope you have a wonderful time on the next vacation. Keep saving!!

Having time with my family is enough for me to consider that I am enjoying life. There is no other activity that would make me happy. A simple conversation, watching movie together and dining out is best time for me if I spend it with my family.

The simple pleasures are always the best ones. There is nothing like family and friends to make everything worthwhile. I wish the people I'm around were that family oriented. It would make life easier.

What do I do to enjoy life? Have a family BBQ, have a few drinks with friends, laugh, play, and enjoy a beautiful day. I hope that I get the chance to travel one day to different places and perhaps "paradise" like beaches. From there, I could just enjoy the scenery and watch the sunset. And probably do something daring.. Maybe bungee jumping? Who knows, "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" (Wayne Gretzky quote)?

I have not been to a family BBQ in awhile. Drinks with friends are always nice and having a great day is always nice. I miss the nice days. Traveling is always fun, I've traveled to a few places but not the beach. I'll be seeing that this year. I like that quote.

I approve that life is full of surprise,something unexpected. Sometimes maybe difficulties, challenge, good news, good fortune... Anyway, I suppose we should enjoy our life and try to make every day in our life fulfilled and happy because the life of everyone is limited. I think we should choose the happier life not the bad and unpleasant. When we meet some difficulties or misfortune, we shouldn't be beat by the life but just advance bravely. Am I right?
