What would make you happier?

I Sperg

When I wuz a nipper aged about 5 my dad asked me which of three things would I choose if I could only have two.

Out of Health, Wealth or Happiness, I "chose"  health and wealth only for him to suggest that without happiness what woudl be teh point of having the other two?

That kind fatherly lesson and correction to my thinking has helped me enormously in focussing upon what is, and is not, really important. 

Let's not kid ourselevs boys and girls we OBVIOUSLY want lashings of all three, but in the real reality, resources & qualities are scattered about unevenly, life is essentially UNFAIR, some of us are born into the wrong bodies (or even species!) but theoretically "Happiness" is an unlimited resource that merely needs to be accessed!

MANY of us it seems are unhappier than the majority and carrying the co-morbities that result from being really unhappy too in many cases. 

NOW before you all start getting political, (I know what you 'spergs are like, I is one myself!) this is more about thinking and sharing what would make YOU happier personally. 

If anyone wants to know why I am asking this, (some of you have found me untrustworthy I believe) I'm happy to explain, but for now I'm asking the question what would make you happier?

  • For my mobility to improve enough that I return to being able to go out as and when I want.The last time I went out on my own was nearly 39 months ago. This may sound silly but I miss going to the cafe I used to go to for a cooked breakfast. I live further away from it now. Even if accompanied it would entail walking so far then sitting on the box seat of the stroller before walking a bit more and stopping to rest again, repeat more than a few times.

    Indoors I can manage 10  minutes or so of being upright,moving or standing still,before pain kicks in.What  I'd call a level 6 pain.
