Subject: Good post Gem, here's my list...
In reply to: gem 's message, "What is happiness? (For me....it is.......).............." on 01:49:53 04/06/02 Sat

1. Depression free as Solie stated, but with the creative sensitivity kept that sometimes comes from that depression.
2. Financial solvency not only for myself but so I can share my good tidings with my church and my friends.
3. Acceptance of my life in terms of where I've been and where I'm at now with keeping faith and hope for the future.
4. The ability to deal more affectively with a really stressful day at work and the doctor's office patients I don't click well with, and the ability to appreciate those I do click with. To know that I work my tail off in that office, harder than I've ever worked to get the patients taken care of and play an instrumental part in helping them through those stressful times.
5. More attention to projects and the fortitude to stick with them (my writing, diet, exercise, etc.)
6. Humorous, but yes, slightly serious (Scott and Sandy will know just what I mean-more green lights and less cars on Whiskey Road, less rattling in my transmission when I climb hills so I don't feel like the little engine that could), and not throwing childish tantrums even when sometimes I get tired of a car in front of me on the same path and I wish they'd turn so I didn't have to look at them anymore. I really do have AAD (automotive anxiety disorder).
7. Last, but probably most important, to count my blessings of health, my cats, my friendships, a roof above my head, a full time job, being in a new area beautiful this Spring, and surface only, but still present communication with my dad, mom, and even my sister. Happiness is being able to realize I am a strong person and have overcome many challenges in my life and to be thankful for what I have.
Peace,
bill
