punkeemunkee'smom replied: I don't think you are alone and I think there are different levels of happiness. I know that the external pressures of the world/life can get to me even though I am perfectly happy and content with our family. My base happiness is complete and solid....If all the material things were gone tomorrow,all that was left was Bill and Taylor and I and our health...I would still be truly happy and content with us but that does not mean I don't dream for more for our family-KWIM?

Crystalina replied: I'm happy but I don't think I really ask for much. Bills paid (on time is really nice but lately...ugh!), kids happy and healthy and DH doing what he wants to be doing. There is always that "oh I want to fix this on the house, maybe add another room on, maybe buy an new area rug... ", that sort of thing but that's all material.

gr33n3y3z replied: content with my life and very happy well not at the moment bc of pain but all in all I like things the way they are

luvbug00 replied: Happy but i dream to have more and really am reaching for more lately.

lisar replied: I am very happy with my life. I just want to build my house and then everything will be where I want it. So I choose I am happy but want more.

A&A'smommy replied: I'm mostly happy with my life.. sometimes I wish I had done things different;y and wonder what life would be like. But for the most party I'm extremely happy with my family I have a wonderful husband and two precious daughters, a great little house it needs a little work and tlc, two running cars and all our bills get paid on time..

MyLilAngel replied: I'm happy with where I am because I've worked my way up pretty good from where I was about 5 years ago. I'm still working towards my degree. Once I get that...I'll be very happy.

my2monkeyboys replied: I am very happy, though it would be great if we were more stable financially. I'd like to make through more than a few weeks before having to worrying about when I can pay which bills.
Other than that, though, I have no complaints. My family and I are all healthy and loved.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. I'm totally and completely content with where I am. Of course there are things that I want (material things), but that does not affect my happiness whatsoever. I know eventually I will have them...when God allows. For now, I just enjoy what blessings I do have; the love of my husband, our children and our health.

Brias3 replied: I'm actually very happy right now. Even the things that frustrate me or aren't quite perfect don't affect my overall happiness really. I think everyone wants something more all the time, or there are little things you would like to change, but on the large scale, I'd vote I'm quite satisfied with where I am in life, who I am, and what I have.
