[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4165095, member: 45551"] I have no idea why but I have always been a fairly happy person. Grumpy says it confounds him how I can be so restless in my sleep and he knows it's because I'm hurting but, if he puts a hand on my forehead, I will smile, calm down and not wake the rest of the way up. He also says that he has no idea how I'm NOT the bitchiest person walking because he knows how bad I hurt and yet I am rarely short with him or the animals. I might be a sarcastic old hag with a sharp tongue, but I'm a HAPPY old sarcastic hag with a sharp tongue. 😁 I have always believed that you make your own misery. Or happiness. It's truly the most basic of choices, if you ask me. I've been kinda bummed because I'm pretty sure I'm fixing to wind up back on the surgery table a couple more times in the next few months. I am SO sick and tired of doctors. But what do you do?? I mean nobody ever promised our journey here was gonna be a walk in the park. And you can ALWAYS find someone who has had it a lot BETTER than you, as well as a lot WORSE. I've often wondered how much happiness miserable people have missed out on because they were always so busy being miserable?? I got to spend a beautiful day with the man I love doing things we both needed, but also wanted to do. By the time we were done with the things we HAD to do we still had enough money left to do the things we WANTED to do, and then STILL had money left over. We came home to a home that is ours, that has all the utilities on and no cut-off notices hanging on the doorknob. 😂 AND a dog who loves us, a couple of cats who allow us to pet them on occasion and chickens who will lay eggs for us as long as we remember to leave their nightlight on a few nights a week. I mean, seriously, how much better can any one person have it?? (And no, I'm not being sarcastic this time.😉) [/QUOTE]
