thanks everyone! i just feel bad cause i find myself calling my new gf by her name evert nnow and then. just wierd because her qnd my best friend were also best friends and the 3 of us were like the 3 musketeers! You know one of the relation ships were we were always in our own little world and people would think we were being goofy but we had an "inside joke" or something than no one else knew about!! It was great! He actually was even really good friends with her in JR High so he knew her even before I did! I try to stay positive but it is just hard with this economy. Had 3 $40,000 cars, a $350,000house and everything in the house was top of the line...leather furniture, Surround sound system, Pool table etc. etc.. Now it is all gone! Not sure How I could ever get back to the standing I was once at! I just feel like the 10 years I had with her was about the best 10 years I will ever See. hopefully this i not the case. Again, Thanks to everyone

This is prob the most obvious fact in the world, but I think for some reason the most forgotten fact as well.
When you're sitting down wherever, doing whatever, just looking around and maybe a little down about things.
And it sounds stupid but its what I do.

I'll look at everything around me one at a time and say in my head "that tree, that tree isn't gonna make me happy, that chair also isn't gonna make me happy, that person walking down the street isn't gonna make me happy".

"NOTHING I can see, can make me happy, that car or house is not gonna go inside my body and flip the happy switch on, theres only ONE way I can be happy right now, and thats by me realizing that happiness is a choice, and all I need to do, is choose to be happy. That is ALL THE POWER & ALL THE CHANGE I will ever need to be happy in my life, realizing happiness cant come from anywhere but within, and can't come anytime but RIGHT NOW".
