Life is good. I'm happy.

While my life is far from perfect, I actually feel really good about myself. I work in a trade I mostly enjoy and it keeps me physically in good shape. I own my truck and am buying my house. I have reestablished contact with the best buddy I ever had after 32 years. You all know how I feel about my daughters and grandchildren, and they just keep getting better.
So yes, in all, I have a good life and life is grand.

I feel great!
For years as a dub (even after I was DF'd) I carried guilt - lots and lots of guilt. Felt I could NEVER live up to the requirements - I must have had a bad heart, I was just a looser, yadda yadda.
Those feelings are gone now. Sometimes I still get down on myself - but it's for things that I know I need to change and CAN change - not just everything like it used to be. Now I find that I'm striving to do the right things not because of fear, or because of some requirement, but just because I want to and it feels good. That makes all the difference. There's no more heavy burden - just the desire to do good for others.
Now - if I could just loose these extra 10 pounds....
If Pompey can put one past Norwich in the next 10 minutes I shall feel wonderful!

minimus asked:
Are you pretty much satisfied with yourself or do you feel unhappy, as a rule?
i USED to be a very UNHappy person.
i am happy to say, that is no longer the case, and i am a very happy person.
i used to walk around with a scowl on my face, and people used to ask all the time, don't you ever smile?
my answer? "wtf for? i aint got nothing to smile about." if i had a reason i would, but i didn't so i wouldn't smile.now, i smile lots, and am more like the person i really am, good natured, funny as hell, and happy inside and out.
