I am happy about 90% of the time I guess. I surely an thankfull for my life for sure
Caring for a parent does bring me down at times. My job does cause some stress but i am working on that.

Thanks `Tadd for being the first to post. I think 90% is a great percentage 4-Sure...I think it's difficult to be happy 100% of the time, but it's a great goal.
I just know that I'd rather be happy , then sad ...I constantly fight the bad in life & refuse to let the bad drag me down in2 a pity pot...I've found like anything good in this life that it takes time & work to get to where we really want to `be....I refuse to just sit back & let life happen...I prefer to be the driver of my life & not let life or someone else drive me *(or block `me) from where I want to `be or `go...Not easy, but nothing good is really easy 4-Sure!
Wish you & readers `Happiness Be the Driver of your `Life

Thanks `Mel for your post & what would make you happier...The best I can `do is to share a picture with you...
A blind man would be happier `if they could see
A deaf person would be happier `if they could hear
A person without a home, would be happier `if they had a place to sleep
A person without a Monte Carlo, would `be happier `if they had one
A person that is hungry, would be happier `if they could eat. etc..
I believe in looking @ what we have, instead of what we don't & keep working for those important things in life to make us happy or happier
Helping someone in need will add happiness in ones life..(Try it `if you haven't ?)
Take control & drive yourself to happiness...*Your Choice*
Dream `it, plan `it ~> Act `it...
Peace/Happiness to you!

I'd say I'm happy 90-95% of the time, although at one point while I was here in Haiti I really started to miss my best friend and hit like 50% . I got accustomed to being here again and helping the kids makes me just joyous!
I wouldn't mind a change in food here and there, warm shower and the ability to not have to worry about buying safe water.
