To ask if you are happy?

[SweetElizaRose]

It occurred to me today that basically I've spent all my adult life waiting to feel happy. Or content. And I never have and so essentially I'm just waiting for time to pass until the inevitable conclusion.
And as I thought that I also realised that no one I know is happy either. They are all worried or unhappy about something - kids, health, work, money, aging parents, divorce etc

Is anyone happy? Or at least content? I realise not everything can be perfect all of the time, or even any of the time.
If you are happy how did you achieve it? And if you aren't what would need to change so you were?

Hmm... I am reasonably content for most of the time. My life seems reasonly good on paper. But I miss feeling really happy.

At this moment....no, I'm not happy. With yet another row with hubby tonight my marriage feels dead. I'm having trouble getting back to work after having my son...my so-called "mate" is more concerned about her own life instead of offering support (after I've given her a shoulder to cry on countless times)...and I have food "problems" which is the only control I have with my life right now. Self esteem is below zero.

Life just isn't good

The only thing worth living for is my son.
