I think that right now I am in the process of discovering what I need and what is important in order for me to be happy http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif ...I am learning to accept what I can not change, and change what I can not (or will not)accept...I believe that when it comes to being happy that no one should be complacent, and should always strive for the best and settle for nothing less http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hey, everybody...I was watching the "infamous" Real World episode where Nicole gets upset (to put it mildly) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif...and, I found myself getting angry just watching it...this topic was discussed extensively on another listserv that I belong to...(pinkies up).

It got me to thinking...I had just been if not happy, pretty comfortable just moments before watching that episode...This, then, caused me to think of all of the outside forces that I allow to change my happy or comfortable mood into one of anger & moodiness...

Here in NYC people cut you off all the time on the road...they push you when getting on the train...waitresses & waiters can be beyond rude...co-workers say things or do things that seem outrageous & inappropriate...even here, as well as on other listservs & at work you read things that have NOTHING to do with you whatsoever...but you get angry anyway...Why? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

My Dad is always saying don't give that power to anyone...but, how do I fight the urge to inflict the same hurt & feeling of discomfort on the person who caused me the pain (or who I perceive is causing me pain)... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

Now, having a short temper has always been my achilles heel (since I was a youngin')...So, I had started consciuosly withholding my reactions when people cut me off...and, speaking softly (still smiling) at the co-worker that tries to unnerve me...Even when I read a post where someone says something I thing is uncalled for, I just say "it's just words & that person has a right to say that...fuggedaboutit"... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Well, guess what happens...I grind my teeth in my sleep & have headaches...or worse, I go off for a little "nothing" reason. I'm like dag..I'm d@mned if I react & d@mned if I don't... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

I don't want to feel road rage, train rage, work rage, cafe rage, e-rage, but it's a hard habit to break (mentally & physically it seems), ya know?

Anywho...I had to get rid of that anger I was feeling from watching RW...so, I started typing...I feel a little better..maybe I'll watch some of my old tapes of Def Comedy Jam to get back happy again! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I'll know if it worked tomorrow if my teeth don't ache http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Well if you read this lady's previous then everyone should know that I am very happy with my life and being able to laugh at MYSELF is what keeps me not only happy, but it also keeps me SANE. I am happy because I am BLESSED with the gift of LIFE. I am happy because I am here and I AM MAKING IT!!!

Yes I know excatly how you feel. These are the things that test us trough life and in turn only make us stronger. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

See, Ideal, I truly believe in having at least one good hearty laugh per day. I do things myself that make me laugh. I watch folk on TV and they say and do things that make me laugh. I look outside and watch my coloreds and they, too, make me laugh. I love watching the Original 'kangs', because 'dem folks surely make me laugh.

Not a day goes by wherein I'm not laughing at someone or something. I seek to have fun.

I'm happy with who I am. I could be further along in some chapters of my life and I am working to get there.

I find something to smile about each and every day.

Yes, right now in my life, I am happy. But there have been times in my life where I wasn't. Sometimes, I think we have to take a look at what we do have and be appreciative of that instead of feeling sorry for ourselves. I am happy right now because I've learned to be thankful for what I have, and not worry and fret about what I don't have, but work that much harder for it....I don't mean material things as much as working toward getting my education, meaningful relationships, peace, etc.

The Happiest I ever been
 

I feel good. Real good. I'm happier then I ever been in my whole life. I've made peace with a lot of issues and accept thaty certain things I can't change.
I have a good husband. A good, supportive mother, great friends, beautiful home, making more money then I ever have in my life. Although I am experiencing some health issues, I have faith I will get through this.
I do find some of the open letters disturbing to see that so many people have issues, but hopefully they will work through them

i love being me. however, people confuse my confidence for arrogance. oh well.
