Thanks Chris I appreciate it.
Seems like the forum has been dead a lot lately. I make threads and don't get the response I had been. So it's not just you. The gun thing is a bummer. Seems like you would be able to amend it or something... That can't be an uncommon thing that happens. Accidents happen. But I am sorry to hear it is causing trouble I hope it all turns out.

I made a post in the "life is better thread and no posts after, what am I the ****ing plague.......Whatever I did or said, so be it, get over it or just tell me straight up to get lost and I'll quit posting/reading and whatever else it is? I've been here for 5 years and I'm kinda tired of this........
You all think I'm that bad? geez, you don't even know me....Come June I'm gonna be pretty much screwed because I need 5k for a lawyer because I tried to purchase a handgun and I supposedly lied on the background check for something that happened 14 years ago! So now I have a trial for falsifying info to the PA state police, fun for me...hahaha, so if it's me you don't like then I'll just go..........Thanks.
Hi `Chris, I don't think it's you (?), I just think it's spring & member's are out working on their Monte's or out having fun. The forum has changed & is not the same as it was...We have many new member's that aren't as active as the past. I know space ask me to keep the forum active while he is out of the country & I've been trying. I have also made a lot of posts & threads and have had no replies : (. (I do make some crazy type threads to fill in the empty spaces.)
I just read your post this morning when I got my first work break of the morning.
Sorry about your situation
Wish you Good Luck!Seems like the forum has been dead a lot lately. I make threads and don't get the response I had been. So it's not just you. The gun thing is a bummer.

`Chris, we really hope that things work out 4 you & that you can get some help with your legal problems +
What is the supposedly lie ? I don't think member's are ignoring you or others. The forum is slower in the spring & summer months from past MCF History. Plus it was a Saturday Night on the MCF & a lot of member's were out doing things and not online....Friday's & Saturdays always seem slow on the MCF.
Most member's don't work 7 nights a week like Space & I (lol)...(I was on standby last eve & then had to work)...It's just life...I hope when you read this that you feel better & can enjoy the MCF...
Wish you the best in Life....Don't give `up!
1. Enjoying the present moment is a habit that takes practice.
If you always look toward tomorrow for happiness, odds are you will do the same when you attain what you’ve been dreaming of. As strange it sounds, the ability to appreciate what’s in front of you has nothing to do with what you actually have. It’s more about how you measure the good things in your life at any given time.
Practice wanting what you have and it will feel even sweeter when you eventually have what you want. Look around—what’s in front of you that can enjoy?
2. Finding reasons to be happy now can benefit your future.Practice wanting what you have and it will feel even sweeter when you eventually have what you want. Look around—what’s in front of you that can enjoy?
Dr. Dacher Keltner of the University of California claims she can predict a person’s future by judging the strength of their smile. Researchers examined yearbook photos of 111 female students taken between 1958 and 1960.
Subsequent tests revealed that the women who expressed more positive emotion in those photos became more mentally focused, had more successful marriages, and enjoyed a greater sense of well-being.
From the article:
“While positive emotion tends to broaden thought, negative emotion tends to narrow it and hold back development….The findings of Dr Keltner and his colleagues, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are among the first to show that differences in the extent to which people express emotion may be stable throughout their lives and dictate personal and social success.”

Something that most people take for granted until it’s compromised.
Christopher Peterson, Ph.D of the University of Michigan, who has studied optimism’s link to health for over twenty years, shows optimistic people have a stronger immune system than their negative counterparts. This may be due to their tendency to take better care of themselves.
Choose to be happy now and you’ll have more days of good health to enjoy.

Once you get everything you want, you will still be subject to life’s highs and lows. If you haven’t learned to enjoy the little things, your well-being will parallel your life’s circumstances. Every time something goes wrong, you’ll feel deeply unhappy (as opposed to disappointed, but determined to make the best of things).
Think about the things that fill you with the most joy—spending time with your pets, listening to the rain, and running on the beach, for example. Focus on those things right now, and let them brighten your day. That way, no matter what changes, you’ll have a variety of simple pleasures to help you through.

I used to be obsessed with being perfect. If I wasn’t the best at something, I couldn’t sleep at night. Becoming great never felt as good as I imagined it would because there was always room to be better. I was constantly dissatisfied and disappointed in myself.
I now look at the things I do as opportunities to get better from one day to the next. It’s more satisfying to set and meet an attainable goal, like focusing better and writing an extra article tomorrow, than it is to obsess about perfection, stressing because I’m not a world-famous author.
By focusing on small improvements and mini-goals, you’ll naturally move yourself toward your larger dreams. And you’ll respect the way you’re doing things.

You may think life needs to change dramatically for you to be the person you want to be.That you can’t be giving unless you make more money. Or you can’t be adventurous until you sell your house. The truth is, you can be those things at any point in time.
So you don’t have money to share. Be generous with your compassion, and listen when your friends have problems. So your house hasn’t sold, pinning you in one place. Create adventure in your day by trying new things and introducing yourself to new people.
You never know when your nows will run out, so ask yourself, “How can I be that person I want to be in this moment?”

Though we all have different lists of dreams and goals, for most of us this is at the forefront: the possibility of living a meaningful life that affects other people for the better.
Happiness is a moment-to-moment choice, one that many have a hard time making. Other people willnotice if you make that choice. And you will motivate them to do the same. As the research above indicates, this motivation has a substantial impact on their health and future happiness.
I know this isn’t your usual reasons-to-be-happy post. It didn’t start or end with “count your blessings” and I didn’t delve into your relationships or good fortune. There’s a very good reason for that.
I don’t think happiness is so much about what you have. What you have changes; your “blessings” evolve. Happiness is about how you interpret what’s in front of you. How proud you are of the way you live your life. How willing you are to enjoy simple pleasures, even if things aren’t perfect.
Though I have’t always done this well, today I choose to focus on the good—both in the world and myself—to feel happy right now. How will you tune into happiness today?
