and everything will be perfect. Sure. Easier said than done. If anyone says something like that to me it causes me more anxiety (does that make sense?). Obviously they do not have any idea what they are talking about. I remind myself of To Kill A Mockingbird and the line, "You never know what someone is really like until you walk around in their shoes". Everyone handles things differently.

I know that "happy" never lasts long since it is unrealistic to be happy all the time. I have read many articles on this subject and I think that if I am "content" for a long period that is realistic and manageable.
