Wendy you really are a happy person.

Yes I am contented/happy, I have a lovely life, not a lot of stress, a wonderful supportive, kind husband, a lovely home, not expensively furnished but how we like it, enough money to afford a few holidays, not world cruises but breaks in the sun, a lovely family, great grandchildren, plenty of interests, some we share some separate, lots of friends, even if none of them are local, they are there and with modern technology we can be in touch. I wouldn't change a thing.



Well maybe a decent lottery win but that would just be fun it wouldn't make me any happier.

well basically yes but at times its been a roller coaster - presently recovering stroke on april 2nd which I nearly died from but thats just made me appreciate my lovely husband of 30 years and three children now in their twenties and all the lovely times weve had together

Yes I am, it would be nice to be financially secure but that's never going to happen!

I have a lovely family and a job I adore, I count my blessings and make the most of every day:)

I would say YES !!

Uzzi - you are probably right....think my liver might have appreciated less drinking! lol! My OH was set to join the navy, but was diagnosed with a medical condition that meant he couldn't, so he had to rethink, came to uni where we met.....and the rest is history! he always says he cannot regret not being able to join the navy, cos if he had we wouldn't have met, and we wouldn't have our children......if you spend too much time looking backwards you miss the here and now....memories are good, dwelling on whats gone isn't! imho!

Like most people my life has not been all roses, but as the saying goes.......that which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger......

I was lucky to have a happy confident and positive nature which has seen me through otherwise hateful times.......but I am thankful for everything , especially my OH who has a great sense of fun.......

....short answer......yes.....

I'm working on it,making a new life as a "Single" person after40yrs of being a OH is not easy.Would have had a healthier life style if i were to change anything.I know I have to move forward but my heart wants to move back.
Very SAD to read all the unpleasantness on the Threads, it has got worse of late,I blame the weather not enough SUNSHINE to give us the feel good factor.Yes I DO pass over most of it ,but take this thread it popped up right in middle! then passed over,or had before i started Typing and that takes me an age.x

Mammiddau but if you got an awesome degree it might have altered your life now.
I think we could all look back and say if only. Berona and others like you I am sorry that you have lost your soul-mate, but pleased that you can smile for the times you did have.

I'm happy with my life on the whole. This year has been awful (and not over yet) and although its been emotional and traumatic at times, my life on the whole has been great. There are some things I think with hindsight I might have done differently (actually do work at uni for one......I got a decent degree, so I might have had an awesome one if i'd been less drunk!!!!) I've a lot to be grateful for, and I keep thinking of those things when other things are getting on top of me!

Portland rose, I couldn't help myself, Uzzi started this with her spiteful comments towards me then deleted the thread so nobody could see her wicked comments.
There's always 2 sides to an arguement, people on this thread have only seen one, so until you are aware of all the facts please refrain from judging me

I think I am very,very Lucky,I thank God everyday ,I have a truely wonderful life(I think So).
The only problem Is I often think my lifes so great that I worry and think nothing lasts for ever,I soon snap out of it though.
But its true isnt it,nothing does last for ever so you should make every day count:-)

Lindy like you I have had a habit of moving about I have now lived in my van for 5yrs which is an equal record with my last pub. I do intend on moving again but will stay on the campsite ( I think ). Part of my joy in life was moving or at least the planning of it, but I have found as I get older then the less I want to up sticks again.

At this age in my life I am happy with my life but will be happier once we have finally settled somewhere permanently, regardless of where that somewhere is.

The longest we have ever lived in one house is our current home and have been here for the last seven years now.

Three years ago we put our home on the market due to the crises nobody is buying. The older I get the more difficult it has become for me to "up sticks."

Lindy ;))

He's gone!

aaaa ok. Hadn't realised that. Thanks for the heads up Lynda xx

Yes I'm happy with my life. There have been some low moments when things have not gone as well as I would like but we've worked through it as a family and come out the other end. They have been the normal challenges that most families face.

To answer the original question. Yes, I'm reasonably happy with my life. I feel a little cheated because I lost my soul-mate, but I have got on with my life and I'm thankful for the 34 years we had together. Now, my children have partners and have given me grandchildren and although I wish he could have known them, there is nothing that can be done about it, so I don't dwell on it.

I've reported that Welshy btw......that's really nasty !!!

I'm happy with my life I think Uzzi.......not blindingly , grinning from ear to ear all the time happy lol......but I'm where I want to be xx

Yes, very much on the whole, although I do have my moments:)

Who is this Welshy? Seems like someone who likes to stir - and obviously not really Welsh. All of the other Welsh people on these boards are nice people.

Welshy - your first sentence sounds like you are a very spiteful person and your second comment sounds like you have a guilty conscience.
