Secrets of a happy life

As Gary Barlow says:

Life is a rollercoaster, you just got to ride it ......

I think it helps to make a concerted effort not to moan! Also to enjoy the small moments eg lovely flower, special music, a smile from someone

Yes. I have only had one life trauma. It was huge, and happened when I was a young person. Looking back I can see I dealt with it well, but there is no way I could do that again. Things are easier when you're young.

I moan. But if you don't, how's anyone to know what you're suffering?

Very true Gonegirl

Not sure I see the point in keeping it bottled up.

It's supposed to be good to let it out. I certainly do!

I am only truly happy when all our children and Grandchildren are trouble free, healthy and happy.

It’s said you can only be as happy as your unhappiest child.

That's so true Urmston

The arts of communication and compromise.

Expect the worst and hope for the best

And Grannygravy - true

Like what you are doing, not do what you like.

I think that once you accept that you can’t control everything, and the lovely little map of life, that you’ve so carefully constructed isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, only then can you relax and accept life for what it is, warts and all

Some great philosophers here ...well said all

crazyH, wasn’t it Ronan Keating who sang about life being a rollercoaster?

Oh yes Bellasnan ....thanks.....that's what age does ..?

You’re welcome! To be honest I thought it was 10cc at first but that was ‘Life is a Minestrone’

? bellasnana I just did the same and thought, "that doesn't sound right! "

I think living in the moment helps. Not dwelling on the past and trying not to worry about the future.
