Of course, having to use a walker at only 51 and not getting any sleep because of the pain, really sets me back on that happy score. It will pass though as all things do.Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33517068.post-863153361180587182011-08-02T23:34:23.312-03:002011-08-02T23:34:23.312-03:00Thank you Graham...

I thought "Crap, utter crap" first time I read that. However now I seem to be getting it.<br /><br />Answer is focusing on what is making you happy and not on what is making you unhappy and deciding that is really good. Am I ecstatic with ecstasy every moment of every day? No of course not, who is but on balance I'm happier, I smile more I laugh more and I laugh deeper than I ever used to... I try to practice being happy even if I'm not. Also when I am really not happy I move on, like I have jobwise recently there was a intransigent issue one that I either accepted and got on with or didn't. I couldn't accept it so have moved to a job with less pay and less status but doesn't have the immovable problem.Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.com
