The older I get, the more I realize I control my happiness- not other things, people or places. For me, it is usually just a matter of adjusting my attitude. Which is good, cause most of the time, you can't change people, places or things.

Just my perspective.
Great attitude and I also try to live that way.
I wasn't talking about changing things though, and not something that makes you very sad, just a little off, like your heart sinks briefly or the like.

Like I used to live on the west coast & when I see pics of out there, or hear stories or think about the past my heart just sinks a tiny bit. I miss it. My heart rises again shortly after as I know someday my time will come again & I will live out there again, but for the time being. Its hard to avoid it, like when I see pics of people here that live out there and the beautiful scenery is in the background, etc...

Thats why I called it a damper, cause its a hard to describe the feeling, its not really sad or empty or lonely or mad, just makes me feel a little off.

If you can not feel that way about anything than by golly KUDOS to you. You are one great person! Can you tell me your secret?
