[Perseid]

.

[Aristus]

1. I have a wonderful marriage and a job I love.

B-)

[snot]

2. I do work I love & I have people to give love to who give it back. Plus,

I party a lot.

[From The Ashes]

3. because...

...I'm 1400 miles away from the source of my previous misery.

[KitchenWitch]

6. And that is a GREAT thing!

:hug:

[From The Ashes]

33. Hi Kitchy!

It is an awesome thing. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. You have really made a huge step for the better, sweetie!

:hug:

[From The Ashes]

34. I think you're right.

I'm healing more and more every day. :hug:

[fizzgig]

19. and i bet it feels like light years sometimes

i'm glad you're happy

[From The Ashes]

35. Yep, light years...

he's a small and insignificant speck. Living well is the best revenge. :D

[otherlander]

4. Somebody doesn't think I'm crazy.

Also I've got a cup of jasmine tea with sugar sitting in front of me.

(Those two things are in no way related.)

[txwhitedove]

5. Because I have surpassed raising teenagers, fires, floods, crazy

druggies, axe murders, and storms to still
have hope for the best in life. Never back down,
never give up, be the best person you can each day.

Also glad you joined DU and share your poetry. Welcome!

[Perseid]

7. thanks everyone for your fun responses

and glad to be here!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Because there is love in my life...

[gateley]

9. Because life is a trip.

[Omphaloskepsis]

11. I finally got this fucking seat out of the RV I am moving into.

It took a couple of hours with a grinder. It is amazing that I didn't set the damn RV on fire. I should be able to move in on my 30th birthday. The failure that is my life will be complete.

[Perseid]

16. life has just begun for you

you sound like a fun person. Best of luck wishes

[JTG of the PRB]

12. Because I get to sleep in a little bit tomorrow morning.

8:20am isn't REALLY sleeping in for me, but I was up at 6am this morning, so it's a bit of a step up.

Also, friends, family, and baseball too.

[wildhorses]

13. i narrowly escaped more catatrosphe

~whew~

[skygazer]

14. Because every day is different

And something interesting is always happening if you just open your eyes to see it.

[IndianaJones]

15. just beat Raam on insane. nt.

[Danger Mouse]

17. because i have her.

:loveya:

[fizzgig]

18. and i have you

:loveya:

[Omphaloskepsis]

21. I think he was talking about me...

j/k

[Danger Mouse]

28. shhh...don't let her know our secret.

:hug:

[Wapsie B]

20. Because I've got my do-over in life.

And I'm going to make the best of it!

[southlandshari]

22. Because I CHOOSE to be happy

I have dozens of reasons to be depressed. But none of them - nor the lot of them combined - outweighs giving up the time and opportunities I've been given. The life I have the opportunity to lead.

The daughter I have to raise.

:)

[eyepaddle]

36. Very good answer! And its mine too,

I don't really have too much to be depressed over (for which I am thankful) but that in itself doesn't automatically mean "happy."

I just am more or less content.

I have curiousity (if you can stay curious, you'll never get bored!) a few pursuits I am passionate about, and people in my life that I care about--and that care about me.

A total plus is my job is actually quite pleasant, so ther's some stress I am fortunate to avoid.

And more specifically, it's good to see you around these parts, stranger! :hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. Right now? Because I might have some valuable documentation for the Bob Moog Foundation.

I didn't know if it had any merit, but people online are telling me that they're rare, and I'm very glad that I can give something back to the legacy of someone who changed my life completely (for the best, of course). If they want it, they might not.

[Fire Walk With Me]

32. Nope, they don't need it.

That's okay, my heart and intent are in the right place.

[Inchworm]

24. Because I'm loved by her and I love her.

:loveya:

Of course happy is a choice, but thats the quickest Bud induced answer I had.

:hi:

[lligrd]

25. Happy Today Because OMC's Wife Is Doing A Bit Better,

my family is healthy and it looks like the world might still be around when I get up tomorrow. And I didn't hear or see * and friends all day.

[Breeze54]

26. No, not hardly.

But I'm working towards it.

[Guava Jelly]

27. because i got a PM from a good friend that i have missed

:woohoo:

[ganeshji]

29. Because I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance

by switching to Geico.

[Roon]

30. I have to admit

I am pretty happy. I didn't think I would ever be happy again since I broke up with my lovers. But to answer your question, I am happy!

[cobalt1999]

31. Always been that way...

I try to retain the ability to laugh at myself, works wonders.

[regularguy]

37. I'm not particularly bright.

AND, being alive is (or at least can be) fun!
