This question is a little like the LBC topic for this week “why do you do what you do?”
In the early 1990s I almost lost my life…when I didn’t think life was worth living. I survived but the camel that broke my back, is still vaguely in my life and we actually get on better now – I stop myself from getting too close to the hooves!
What that did was make me, make some huge changes in my life and now I just like to doing things that mainly please me…
This change in my abode status has made me think much more “it’s just about me…and I can do what I like, too bad about any camels that try to get inside my head…I have invested in an electric fence, & they get an electric shock if they overstep the mark”
I’ve never had any significant issues with depressions, I’m in reasonably good health, and I’m in a long term relationship. I try to stay physically and mentally active so that I can enjoy life as long as possible.
Music. I have many favourite musicians who lift my spirits the moment I listen to them. I couldn’t do without music, it reaches a part of me that nothing else reaches.
LOL! that hobbes. he lives in the NOW.
and I think maybe that might be the secret.
it’s all we’ve got.
and whenever it’s bad it passes. eventually. or else our attitude toward it can.
pass I mean.
I don’t know.
it think I’ve never over~expected anything about my life so it’s been easy to enjoy it. that sounds very lazy and non reaching I’m afraid. but it’s true.
I just play what I’m dealt. and i’m happy.

YAY cathy! what a great answer.
I agree with tammy. Yay, Cathy!
Life.
That works. 🙂
Like Ramana said.

That sounds like a winning combination to me. 🙂

That’s a blessing! We live in a wondrous age.

Having no expectations is powerful. I’ve been watching Borgen, about a woman Danish Prime Minister. Ambitions like that rarely lead to happiness. 🙂
What a great topic! I don’t think about it often enough. I’d say my family…and having a purpose every day. And exercise. I seem to crave it!
Those three are all important to me too. We’re blessed to have them. 🙂
