Member's, please add to the below list...
Thanks `YOU

50 Reasons Why You Should Be Happy To Be Alive

Post written by `You


Life is your gift, open it.

Life can be tricky.
Life can be sticky.
Life can be fun. Life can be sad. But one thing is for sure, life changes like the weather, and we can either “go with the flow” or fight it.
In today’s society, with a plethora of stimulation from the fast-paced life that surrounds us, chock full of stress and demands, I think many of us simply question…how can I even be happy to be alive? We may say to ourselves that life seems more about simple survival than it is about truly living and being happy.
So, please think about reasons why all of us & your especially should be happy to be alive. We all need a reminder sometimes ?. Who knows? In any case, I hope you enjoy the below list created below. I feel that somewhere in the list of 50 reasons you should be happy to be alive you may see…yourself. Or, see something or feel something you may have not felt before or clearly seen. Maybe it is a wake-up call to your soul/mind/spirit. Whatever it is, I hope something in the list sparks your inner happiness and makes you realize it is good to be a human being…and to not take for granted this one thing we all currently have…being alive. No one is guaranteed a 2-morrow 4-Sure On `no We must live our NOW
It's so much better then the alternative below "I'm not ready 4-Sure" but,
WHAT `if ?

Wow space some very good reasons 4-sure

maybe some of the same you listed but worded differently

Being a grand parent and hugging your child's children

Just being there for your spouse when she/he needs to vent or celebrate life's events

The warmth on yor face on a warm summer day while being outside

The first snow of the season while being in awe of the beauty of snow covered trees

The awsome colors of a fall color change.


There are so many more to list will leave some for others

Plus, I hope it's adds positive activity to our forum & our member's...There's just 2 much sadness in our World 2day & the above is just not a reminder to our member's, but to myself...I read the frustrations of many in their posts, and hope the above serves as a reminder...

I know that I'm not ready to leave planet `Earth yet & I constantly search for the positives in Life vs the negatives... I sure rather be happy then sad...don't you ?

Thanks you & all our contributing member's 4-Sure

Any day they are not shoveling dirt on your face is a good day. One needs to deeply reflect on a couple of personal things everyday and be grateful for what ever has come your way unless you like an axe murderer or something like that.

Here's Johnny!!!!!!!!!!
