"I'll be happy when.."
This blog comes from one deep inside my brain, that I have never taken the time to think about until now..
I will have to jump down memory lane for you. Remember I am only 29 years old,so college/high school wasn't to terribly long ago.
High School Amy:
"I'll be happy When..."
1. I'll be happy when, I can drive.
2. I'll be happy when, I have a boyfriend.
3. I'll be happy when I wear a size 3.
4. I'll be happy when I get out of this cowboy town
College Amy:
"I'll be happy when..."
1. I will be happy when I have a healthy relationship with food.
2. I will be happy when I finally graduate from college.
3. I will be happy when I get married.
4. I will be happy when I start my career.
Career Amy:
"I'll be happy when.."
1. I'll be happy when I transfer schools.
2. I'll be happy when I have a baby.
3. I'll be happy when I have this heart surgery behind me.
4. I'll be happy when I make more money.
5. I'll be happy when I lose this baby weight.
Who knew my happiness would start after my stroke? I had to have basically almost everything taken away for me to realize happiness comes from within. I always had heard that, but never understood it.
I can truly say,"I am happy to be a survivor. I enjoy the simplicity of life. I enjoy being out of the rat-race of working society. I now understand why the elderly drive slow" They are enjoying every moment of life.
Current Amy:
1. I am happy being a hemipalegic.(with one fully functioning arm.)
2. I am happy earning a minimum wage income.
3. I am happy being a stay-at-home wife/mommy.
4. I enjoy the little things of life.
5. I wish I could of found this knowledge earlier in life. Stroke does teach some hard lessons.
6. I am happy living frugally.
