The pursuit of Happiness.

I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my life. Or perhaps more accurately how I can change my attitude towards the way I look at life. I have it pretty good. I am healthy, I have a wonderful boss, my work environment is marvellous, I have a house. I have two lovely Kitties, and most importantly I have a Husband who loves me dearly and despite the fact that I have packed on 50 pounds since we started dating, still finds me terribly attractive. (Love is blind eh?)

But despite all those very good things I feel quite lacking, I don’t think I am depressed. I enjoy good things in life, I have lots of energy… but....

I think there are two things at play here. One is my own attitude. I believe that “You are the architect of your own happiness” A large part of how you perceive the world you are in depends on your own attitude towards it. I don’t think I have a shitty attitude about life, but I think there are areas of my outlook that could stand some improvement.

The other thing?

Well someone I know told me a while back that what I needed was a whole new set of friends.

She was right.

I wish Timothy and Shelly were closer to Toronto.
