2012 ChiefsPlanet Happiness Question
 

I noticed awhile back that many members were having serious challenges with life and that seems to have really died down lately so I wanted to ask this question to get an idea of how things are out there.

What question?

Good thanks, how are you?! (smiles and keeps walking)

Don't touch me.

Don't ask me that shit.

<----------- I have a lot of challenges but am happy sometimes.

It's called seasonal depression. Nothing new.

Fine. (Walks the other way, rips an SBD.)

I laughed.

I'm amazed by how much happier the great weather makes me. There's so much more to look forward to when it's 78 degrees and sunny.

It's raining right now here. Where's my gun...?

I wake up stiff and sore about every morning and have some health issues, but I'd say I am happy and fulfilled.
Being negative or complaining has no value other than to drag someone else's day down. I'll always tell you I'm good if you ask.
Sometimes, someone will question that, and my response is always "saying it is the first step to believing it".

Do I have everything I want? no...but I have a great family, challenging but awesome kids and in general things are going well. I truly think that believing you're happy is the biggest key to being happy.

It's rainy and I'm a little achy today and fighting allergies, but if someone asks, I'll tell them I'm either 1.awesome or 2. living the dream. 3. In pursuit of happiness

As my kids left this morning and we did the hugs, and I watched my not quite 2yr old stomp out the door in his boots and silly ball cap and turn around and cheerfully give me the morning "bye bye daddy"....I have the world by the tail.

Is it just me or have BIG_DADDY and Iowanian softened a bit over time? (By no means a negative thing.)

Im somewhere between 5 and 6, I put it at 5.
