Do you enjoy your life? Or when did you enjoy your life?

Just that. When I was at uni, and for a few years when I lived in rural Yorkshire, I really enjoyed life. Each moment I felt happy and lucky, looking forward to the next fun thing.

I don't hate my life now, but it's all about goals and getting through. I think I need to make some changes.

Wonderng how many people enjoy their lives.

I do. We moved not that long ago to a rural location into a home that will be ours form life now, circumstances willing. I have friends and a family and a good life. We are comfortable if not rich, have all we need.

I am very fortunate.

My life definitely feels like nore of s slog and living for the weekend since having kids. I do still have lots that I enjoy though and I wouldn't change it. I just miss the freedom and spontaneity that came with not having to make sure PE kits and lunches are sorted for tomorrow.

Nice. Hope you really enjoy it all.

Yes I do. I tend to be quite cheerful although I don't think about it much and analyse stuff

I have a good family life, love my kids, enjoy my (wreck of a) home. I've just bought a little red car and it genuinely makes me smile every day when I get in it. And that always makes me think how happy I am with my lot.

I do.
It's certainly different to my uni days / early 20s (which were fabulously stress free!) but I am very grateful for what I have.
Marriage, kids, house, full time job etc make it busy and pretty full on these days but mostly in a good way. I'm very happy overall and yes, enjoy life :)

Generally been happy bumbling along.

Never hated my life despite some distressing times (loss of child, parents, OH illness etc) and of course life can be stressful but generally I have been happy.

About to take early retirement and have so many plans that I am really looking forward to the future.
