Learn to be happy with what I have

The more I sit here in this recession, not being able to do the things I used to, or buy the things I used to, is helping me appreciate what I have.

We’re all too materialistic. I’m also learning to let go of things. I’m sure GoodWill is happy with all the donations we’ve made lately.

I sometimes wish I was born back in the “Pioneer” days. People say life was so much simpler…I don’t think it necessary was simplier, just different. You were less likely to take what you have for granted. You had to work for what you wanted/needed, so when you had it, you really appreciated it. Now-a-days it seems like so much is just “disposable” that there really isn’t a whole lot of that appreciation for what we have.

I haven’t been out shopping for much new unless it was more on the necessity side (had to buy jeans since one pair ripped out, and I was left with only one pair to wear to work).

Guess I’m one of those people who was living above my means, and now I have to figure out how to live within my means :) I’m getting there, it’s getting easier, and I know I’ll make it.

ı have good friends and a good family but why ı cant be happy with these..ı dont know.ı have decided to be happy..

I feel so ungrateful…. I can be in my car with a jacket and a cup of applesauce leaving my house beeping the horn with one hand and waving bye to my mother and still in a moment of grief, guilt, shame, and so on say i am unhappy… what the Helll FOLKS!

How many people have not experienced any of the mindless things i take for granted on a daily basis… NO MORE I SAY NO MORE @@!!!

Ive become a really grateful person, i think when i suddenly loved life, life seemed happier, lighter and brighter…

:) I love life…

You know, volunteering for random things can boost your self confidence, boost your mood and live life in a better way.

HEarts JaQs….

Cheers to everyone who seek happiness!

I am now.. HAPPY FOR WHAT I HAVE IN MY LIFE :)

i’m not truly happy with everything i have, but i’m working on it. i’ve learned that there are both pros and cons to everything and that if i don’t necessarily get the things that i claim to “want” or “need,” it’s ok and it’s not the end of the world.

I think I am starting to appreciate what I have more and more. I feel like lately I’ve had a much more positive outlook on life, and I am trying not to take things for granted. I’m not going to take it off yet, I’ll give it a few more weeks, but I feel like I’ve made progress.

No matter what is going on in my life, whether times are bad or really good, I always find myself wising for something else.I feel like I just need to take a step back and realize that I am so lucky to have what I do… I just get caught up in worrying about what I don’t have that I don’t remember to celebrate what I do have.

See below you… see what the other peoples don’t have!

The is one of the keys to happiness.
