When was the last time you were truly happy?

As above

Oh wow. I literally cannot remember.....

Now, seriously.
I am more happy than not.

Oxytocin happiness= at a gig last year. Happy with my life? Probably in the pandemic when demands were low and we could just pause.

Last summer when my baby was born, happy doesn’t cover it. I was elated, just in love with her, my partner and the little life we’d built

still somewhat happy but tired, relationship feels different and life is generally quite stressful. I’ll treasure that summer forever though

what about you OP?

Right now.

At the toddler playground the other week. Singing some nursery rhymes, such a joy

October 2014 before my life changed forever which also meant dc lives changed.
I was 35 and didn't realise what was round the corner.

I'm generally happy. Proper grinnng? Yesterday listening to DD and her friend.

Today, talking to two little pigs at a city farm with my daughter.

Now. Today. Most days

It’s been years. I’m in constant pain due to my job. Infertility treatment has sucked up all my money and I’m too old for any further treatment. Can’t even afford a nice holiday to try and cheer me up. So I’m facing a childless future. I have my husband. But will I ever be truly happy again? I doubt it. But I’ve accepted it.

When I found out I was pregnant last year. I thought it would never happen for me and the feeling of seeing those little lines. I’ll never forget it. And the calm. The absolute calm that everything was now good.

Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be. But I pray for that feeling again 🙏

Today.

I don't think I've ever been happy. I always feel as though something dreadful is going to happen. Not ideal, but I get on with things.

Now. But it’s been a rollercoaster ten years. High peaks and low troughs.

Life is calm and stable now and I’m very grateful.

3rd Feb 2022 before I got news that crumbled my entire world and family.

Not been truely happy since and don't think I ever will be.

This morning. This evening I've got Sunday night work stress ahead of a big week, so less so!

I'm happy now, I'm usually happy in a calm content rather than joyful sort of way.

As per pp's, right here right now. I have hit a sweet spot this afternoon. Full of gratitude. Tomorrow another day (and likely another outcome !)

When I went home last summer with just the kids. My dad was looking out the window at us and said you all look so happy. And we were.

I am right now.

About two hours ago, watching Gladiators and eating chips.

Um. Right now. All the time pretty much. And on the rare days I’m not, I just wait till tomorrow.

I'm truly happy most of the time. I count my blessings a lot.
