MY response, life is how YOU measure it. I have 2 failed marraiges, have only found a part time job, My home is being auctioned in a month...I am not sure where we will go! MY about to be ex, has made my life hell with his stalking and control..and yet I am FREE!! and in my freedom i have found a contentment and happiness that seems impossible in my circumstances.

The financial crisis, to the Western developed countries, especially the United States caused a lot of pressure.Caused the ordinary people to suffer very many twists and turns, I felt was sorry very much.Hoped you can bridge over this ridge.Life we also must have after all to continue.Therefore, had to stand has been straight, do not fall face down.<BR/>Speech said which regarding Dalai Lama, I have the retention.He is such says, but he not necessarily is such does.Not only must listen to him to say, but also must see he does.<BR/><BR/>http://eyesinkaleidoscope.blogspot.com/ <BR/>http://fymtyh.blogspot.com/skywindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976744642790529029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076932166540355726.post-84204218010494274482009-02-26T09:58:00.000-05:002009-02-26T09:58:00.000-05:00This is a great post Breeze.

The reason I love the impoverished lands is that the people who live there are HAPPY! They have NOTHING and they are happy. I have come to the conclusion that the reason most of the developed world is unhappy is that we have been conditioned to want THINGS! I now believe that happiness lies in simplicity - love of others, love of self, gratitude, service to others. That's it! That's my thoughts!<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>audreyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076932166540355726.post-17178673323851538962009-02-26T09:26:00.000-05:002009-02-26T09:26:00.000-05:00and i did not mean for tha to sound harsh, it is j...and i did not mean for tha to sound harsh, it is just truth xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047696858755347818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076932166540355726.post-64715812753069219352009-02-26T09:25:00.000-05:002009-02-26T09:25:00.000-05:00happiness comes with gratitude- they cannot be sep...happiness comes with gratitude- they cannot be seperated.<BR/>look at people, especially those who complain and seem unhappy- you will notice the lack of gratitude in their lives.<BR/><BR/>you create your own reality- like attracts like xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047696858755347818noreply@blogger.com
