I'll be happy when... We convince ourselves that life will be
better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are
frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when
they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.
We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell
ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her
act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice
vacation or when we retire. The truth is there's no better time to be
happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled
with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to b! e !
happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have
and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, enough to
spend your time with ... and remember that time waits for no one. So, stop
waiting ...
Until your car or home is paid off.
Until you get a new car or home.
Until your kids leave the house.
Until you go back to school.
Until you finish school.
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married.
Until you get a divorce.
Until you have kids.
Until you retire.
Until summer..
Until spring.
Until winter.
Until fall.
Until you die. There is no better time than right now to be
happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't
need money, love like you've never been hurt, and, dance like no one's
watching.

Excellent advice!
(Although I do have trouble with the dancing part... no rhythm I gues.) :oops:

I like that and I especially like this part, "Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and, dance like no one's watching."

Helen, at least you didn't say "I'll be happy when I learn how to dance better, lol!"

Not any more, but I have to tell you it WAS a BIG wish until just a few years ago. Now I wonder why, LOL. :roll:

I never could dance - no coordination. Swaying to the music I can do.

Thanks Helen. Not much good at that sort of thing - ornament designing I mean, but I am thinking about it. Perhaps some Cornish piskies! :lol:
