Genuinely Happy. :)

I've begun to know the meaning.
I was just thinking about some things and I thought i'd share.

I was just about to get to bed, walked into the livingroom and saw all 3 dogs curled up on the couch, content and fast asleep. All three of them on one couch.

I let out a big deep sigh and proceeded to walk their way. As I approached them they opened their eyes enough to see me and all 3 of their tails started going.

Then I thought some while I was hugging each of them.

I'm happy. I feel so content in life at the moment. I don't remember the last time i've cried myself to sleep.

I've finally been able to get rid of some people and things in my life that made me an emotional mess. A majority of the heartless thoughts that have been said to me are no longer affecting me. I've begun to look at the source of these things instead of taking every little bit and piece to heart like i've always done in the past. These heartless thoughts are no longer buzzing around in my head and building up into tears.. They're gone at the moment and i'm looking forward to never reliving them again.

I've begun living for me. Instead of trying to make everyone else happy i've been doing what I need to do to be happy.

I'm proud of myself for finally overcoming this... and I know there's others who are/were in the same boat. Hang in there because it will eventually all unravel and you'll be able to be content, too.

To some of you this may as well be a pointless post, but i'm posting it with a smile.. and at the moment that's all that matters.

I'm very happy your life is in balance Kay.

Oh Kay, this brought me to tears....
I am SO SO SO Happy that you are happy!! What a fabulous feeling....! You deserve it more than anyone!

I am still searching, even at my age, for that contentment that you describe...I can achieve it in fits and spurts..but I'm waiting for it to sink in and stay awhile...

You are mature beyond your years dear Kay...I have known you were special and wonderful from the first time we clicked and I hope you know it forever and feel this way for the rest of your life. Give your parents and all the dogs kisses from me, especially You-Know-Who

Love to you always, Jennifer and Duncan

I am very happy you feel so good about your life, lots of people should but they don't. You seem to have a very good head on your shoulders.

That's an incredible place to be, I know how hard it is to get there. It's something I've struggled with, too, and have moments where I lapse, but, for the most part, I can relate. I don't think it's a pointless post at all.

Contentment is a great gift to have in life. It is worth much more than all the wealth in the world. Good to hear you are genuinely feeling happy.

What a fabulous post to read--and a fantastic place for you to be. I've had a similar experience. It took a long time to get there, but I distinctly remember the first time I looked around at my life and thought "this rocks!". I hope you can stay in this happy place for a long, long time!

I am so glad that you are feeling happy now! I am sure that your dogs know it and are equally happy.

If this thread is pointless, then, well, I think that you would consider Pet Talk pointless. Everyone on PT matters, and every single word that a person says matters. PT is a place where you can be yourself and not have to hide, and if you are in emotional distress, someone is ALWAYS willing to talk. Therefore, how can this thread be pointless, every word you say has a meaning, and has a reason for being here. You said so in here that if you are feeling in distress hang in there, and I am adding, PT family is there!

I am SO glad that you are happy, and that you have made that you can enjoy life without crying yourself to sleep every night.

Good for you Kay! After this, everything will fall into place, when you're happy with yourself! No matter how bad things get in life, there's always some happy 'things', our furkids being one of them!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Kay, I hope you know how happy it makes me to read this wonderful thread. There are so many people here that are so happy for you. You have made my day and put a smile on my face. Keep smiling sweetie!!

Love, Terry, Daisy, and Delilah

Not pointless at all. I am happy to hear that you are at such a happy, peaceful point in your life. Enjoy it and make the most of it.

I am happy to hear you are feeling so good about your life and have the happiness and contentment to go with it!

wahoo , I'm glad to hear this from you. I know you've worked hard to get to this place.

[Cataholic]

What a wonderful post to read first thing on a Saturday morning! Realizing that YOU are the reason you live each day is wonderful. I have always liked the saying, "the way people treat you is a reflection of them, not you".

Keep on Happy'ing!

Kay I'm so glad to finally hear this. You of all people deserve to be happy
