i don't limit the range of feelings and emotions i have. life is a complex and vast range of experiences, i relish that and certainly don't fight it by falling into the must be 100% happy rat race. when a family member passes i feel sad, unhappy, alone. when my dog smiles at me i feel joy, when he limps and lays down i feel concern and pain. when my neighbor fires up the leaf blower at 6am i feel pissed.
@CS I imagined you would be 100% of the time as happy as a pig in shit.
Just as important or maybe more important is what emotions you are feeling the other 20% of the time.
Humans should always be happy with the fancy phones and modern conveniences we have these days. Once I got my finances under control there was almost no stress, so not much worry and "unhappiness".

In the past 3 years I lost my mother and daughter and my father with ill health is in decline which dramatically effected my work my past 2 years leading to a lot of stress.
I keep seeing the light at the end of the tunnel only to see that it is an illusion. Can't wait for shit to start going my way again.

sorry for your loss. life can be a bitch sometimes.
It seems to me however that you are waiting on something so that your find your happiness again.
Happiness is a state of mind. And you should do all that it takes to reach it. If you are waiting on someone else or an event to make you happy it is not the right way to go.
Be active (aka workout), meditate, work hard, help others, take time off to enjoy yourself, focus on the good in your life and be grateful for what you have, find your passion and seek it with all of your heart.
Remember that you are only on this earth for a short while and you have got to enjoy your experience.

Happy scale now? 20% maybe 30% on a good day.
I'm sorry for your loss. I have heard it's the hardest thing to lose a child.
You sound like a positive person. I hope things will turn around for you soon.

Similar situation here with my parents, can't even imagine losing a daughter. With the way I feel right now I can't imagine how people continue.
Work - Going great. Two jobs, both seem to appreciate me.
Money - Bills are paid, I have a nice 4k sq house for the three of us.
Health - I am very healthy. I am loosing weight. I just played basketball for an hour, and also played this morning. Tnight I shall go cycling.
Relationship & Family - Wife still puts out on demand, kid is awesome.
Wow. I am amazed at such a nice response to my post.
If it were not for the fact that I can still afford to live in nice places, stay active and have some very special friends, meditate and hike at least 5 miles every day (Have done so for more than 10 years) I don't know how I would cope.
My mother had a 14 year cancer battle, the end was terrible. As a trained hospice volunteer I thought I knew what to expect. It was worse.
My daughter was the light of my life and the most amazing fun person you could imagine. When she was still in school she was working as a vets surgical assistant and had another job training seeing eye dogs 4 days a week.
She had a rare disorder which turned her from an active person to wheelchair bound in less than a year and then the pain management drugs created a downward spiral including severe mental issues with multiple times being institutionalized (not for drug abuse).
Psycho meds would work for a few months and then would make her worse until they were changed. 2 days after her last change he has seizure in her sleep and died. As strong and as driven as she was she just reached a point of giving up and making life hell on everyone around her and herself. Died at 30.
While these this was hard, after my mothers death, my father was diagnosed with cancer. He had his kidney removed, daughter died and then he needed another operation months later for cancer in his throat. What is worse is my fathers ongoing dementia and horrible behavior (he was always very abusive) is extremely hard to handle as well as me constantly worrying about how I will handle him in the future.
As hard as this all was I love what I do as well as my volunteer work. Withing the past 3 years my time allotted to work has been shot to shit. I went from being a 7 day a week worker and volunteer to maybe being able to work what I feel is a 1/3rd of a year with so many trips back and forth to my father helping him and handling his affairs and dealing with major burn out now.
The constant back and forth, lack of any real time for myself and my emotional availability is making it impossible to find another women lately.
Thank God I don't drink or drug or I would be dead.
I am so thankful that money is not an issue now, but at the rate I am going if this continues like this for a few more years, I may have issues there as well as being in my mid 50's I have to think about retirement.

That just sounded rather...hmm...douche. I'm sure the missus must appreciate that you updated the world on how she still spreads her legs and lets you drop your tootsie roll in whenever you demand she do so.

I have no complaints what so ever.
You think in a way that I never could.
But if it works for you, then I guess the end justifies the means...

i like that.
Well said, I like that too

i don't know. i think you really have to be able to ignore a bunch of shit to really be happy all the time. shit, right now someone is being raped, murderered, abused, etc while you're dumb smiling ass is "happy" (no personal offense intended).
you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..
Every day above ground is a great day.
The cemetary is filled with people who wish they had your problems.
Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die.
These are words to live by and cliches for a reason.
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
