Christians say that Jesus wants us to rejoice in the face of hardship.
I can't quite grasp the concept, but they seem like a happy-go-lucky bunch.

I have a great set of kids. My wife still makes me horny. I can't be laid off. I still have fantastic adventures involving mountain roads, trails and cliffs. I am a semi-well known artist in my field. Not a bad guitarist/singer.

All this economy meltdown/bailout shit may mean fundamental flaws in our system get addressed in a way that will work in the long run. It is a great time to be buying certain stocks and if you can afford it, houses are cheeeeep and getting cheaper by the day.

I invite all to share their happiness and maybe some will stick on those who ain't got nothing to say. _{mods, feel free to police this thread with a jackbooted stride and an iron fist.}

These sentences next to each other made me happy.

Cheers.

I'm in love. It has it's ups and downs but it's a nice feeling in general.

I'm at a decent uni, doing the course i want to. My degree is broad and well recognised , so i should be ok getting a job. My family, friends and myself are all in decent health, and both my parents are in very secure jobs.

Life could be much worse.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't see a falling sky.

I've had troubles in life. Troubles never posted in this forum. My daughter, my family, and my friends make my happy. They will always be with me, even if only memory.

I'm not starving, I have roof over my head, and I live in a relatively liberal society.

That'll do me.

Continuing to watch my Son grow and develop. Business is doing well after a 6month slump. Secured about £20 000 worth of work over the past 2weeks. Playing in several bands, got some good gigs coming up. Gregory Pecks mansion, various Jazz Festivals. Planning a road trip around France, Spain and Portugal for the summer ending up here: http://www.goingnowhere.org/en/
Enjoying having no formal lady in my life after years of "women stress"

The past 6months were tough. But I think if you subscribe to the doom and gloom, it will take you down with it. Staying positive when the shit is hitting the fan is the way forward. I have plenty of bad shit going on too, but I tend not to focus on that.

That's odd. In my school you were one or the other.

And my school was just a collection of buildings without a gender.

Those things don't make you happy?

What more do you need?

What more do you feel entitled to?

Job good for now. Finances pretty stable. My wife is 3 months pregnant. My family is great. My health is very good.
It could be a lot worse.

If I tell you, you will simply think I am being cliche-ish, but I believe with all of my heart that what I am entitled to is life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Nothing more.

I am entitled in America to pursue MY version of a quality of life, unabated, without govt. interference. The key is, I must be allowed to do so WITHOUT infringing on anyone elses right to do the same.

The fact that I have been able to do so, for myself and my family, is what makes me happy.

Uhhhh the kinda liberal of which would rather have govt. provide for them instead of having govt. afford the freedom to provide for yourself?

:ROFL:

And you moan about 'entitlement'...

:facepalm:

You, me and everyone else are all entitled to ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
