Another deep thought for you ladies....

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 be happy anyway. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, 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.

Very nice! I don't know where you get these words of advice, but keep them coming!!!

Re: Another deep thought for you ladies....

It is true. Sometimes I think about the future and how happy I'll be when I'm out of school, when I have a house. But then I stop to think of how happy I am NOW.

An older friend emails them to us almost everyday!!!

She lost her daughter last April unexpectedly - she was only 38, so she tries and sends these things out as a reminder to herself and to us!

Well - yes and no - she is a strong woman, but its been tough.

The woman who died was actually my FH's best friend. She went to work one morning and collpased - that was it

We have since connected with her family, who we never met until the wake! Her brother is so awesome, we became really close with him and his partner, and the brother is our best man, and his partner is a grooms man. Her parents are coming to the wedding to - so somehting good came of this....
