Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I have almost everything I have ever dreamed of - and the things I don't yet have are absolutely within my grasp if I apply myself to achieving them. So yeah - I have a pretty fantastic life.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I've had my fair share of bumps in the road, but I always try to take a step back and realize that I am just so, so, so lucky. I have an amazing Dh, beautiful house, job that I just adore, and a little rascal that brings so much joy to my life every day, even when she's grumpy

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I am thankful for so much. The tough times make me realize what is good.

I have my health for the most part, my parents thankfully have no health issues and are adjusting. My brother is getting better although it's still a long way off from complete success.

DH is not happy in his career but is making decisions that could change that. I am working with people that are great and the company, the pay and the benefits are excellent.

My friends and family are loving although I only have a few in each dept.

Not so bad. There are people with so much less.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

Absolutely!!

I have a GREAT DH who loves me fat, thin, happy or B!TCHY.
We work hard and have the things we want. We are working on a house and a Family (hopefully). We have great respect for each other and love to bust on ourselves and each other A LOT.
I have a kickas$ family, although the make me nuts occasionally. Im very happy with my life. I think there is so much other funky stuff going around all over the place, but in my "little" world Im all good.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I am extremely grateful for what I have. I have a great DH, a loving family, wonderful friends, we all have are health. WE all have jobs I am truly blessed.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

It doens't take much to make me happy. I'm grateful that I have a job, my health and my family. All that makes me feel that I have a good life.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

yes right now my life is awesome. Ive been thru pretty tough times in my life- when my mom was dying and I think I can finally say that Im very happy. For a long time after her death it was a reach to say that, I was still holding alot of grief. Im finally starting to come into my own.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I've been depressed over my infertility issues, but I am very blessed to have a loving, wonderful husband, a beautiful house, good health, decent jobs, good friends.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

Yes, I feel like I have a good life, great even. I'm very happy right now and doing exactly what I want to do with my DH.

We are living our life, not someone else's expectation of it.

I'm thankful for what I have, and feel rewarded for all my hard work that has brought me to where I am today.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

Yes, I truly feel like I do. There are times we've struggled money wise, but that puts into perspective what the IMPORTANT things in life are.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I feel I have a GREAT life. Great family, awesome friends! I feel my life got even better after high school. I feel very blessed!

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

DH and I have a WONDERFUL marriage and we have our health. That in itself is more than I could ever ask for.

this last year has been challenging, but nothing insurmountable. we'll get through it...

overall, we have a good a life

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I am constantly stopping to think about how thankful I am for my wonderful life

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

Yes, a very good life. I'm able to stay home with our son while Dh works. That right there is perfect for me.

I have great friends and a supportive family.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

yes, I love my life and feel very lucky

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

i think, right now, my life is amazing. i am newly married, TTC (for fun ), everyone i know is healthy, and it's the holiday season! so yes, i think my life is just about perfect right now.

just thinking about it makes me grin

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I am grateful for the many things I do have and i think any life is good. We should be thankful for every day we wake up!

But I don't really feel very happy lately. Not unhappy. just not happy..if that makes sense

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I have a great life. I know it and I try to be thankful for it every day.

I have a wonderful DH who loves me for me both inside and out. He treats me very well. We are both healthy. We both have our parents who are healthy. (His dad had a heart attack a few years ago and prostate cancer - but overall he is great) We both have jobs that pay very well, we enjoy what we do and those we work with.

We own a home and do take good care of it. DH feels you take care of your home it will take care of you.

Their are certain things we dont have and we do want, but it will just take a little bit of time. But the things that do matter we have plenty of and when we look back on it all - we do have a good life

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

Yes, so much so that it scares me sometimes. I have a truly wonderful husband, who is a great father and would do absolutely anything for our family; beautiful, healthy children; my parents are fairly healthy and close by; my sister, who has become one of my dearest friends pratically lives around the corner; my kids have their cousins close by; my husband and I have no money worries and very stable careers; I have five unbelievably close girlfriends since the age of five (who are now some of the most wonderful women I know and who I thank G*d for everyday). And the list really does go on. I try to really think about these things everyday and not let little things get to me.

All in all I am so thankful for all the great people and things in my life that it sometimes frightens me. Anyone else feel this way?????

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I do think I have a good life. Could things be better? Yes. But could things be worse? Definately. And that's what gets me through the hard times. I love my DH, we love our families, and they, us. I'm not working right now, but he is, and we're getting by just fine. We have a sick parent, but he's fighting the odds, so that's HUGE. We have everything we need, and a lot of what we want (and knowing the difference helps on 1 income). Christmas is coming, and we know that we will see all of our family at one point or another, and that is something to be very greatful for.

I figure as long as we have something to be thankful for, we have a good life.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

I am completely content in my life and could not be more blessed.

Re: copying an idea from the nest.... " Do you feel you have a good life?"

Yes, my life is great and I am loving it. I am also grateful for what I have.
