So you know by now that every week my bible teacher gives us a topic for journaling on and this time the question is
If you died today and went right to Heaven and was asked
Did you have a happy life?
What would you say and what would be the things that made you say it.
It is probably a good question for us to ask of ourself and it was a question that got asked of Lizzy in the book I got from Santa  called Elsewhere.
So now how would you answer that question?

If I believed in an afterlife  I would have to answer yes. There's been a lot of bad stuff but I'd do it all again if it meant having Holly. As for the afterlife, I haven't reached a verdict yet. |

I hope I have a lot more living to do but so far I think my life has been good and I'm happy.
Nothing is perfect all the time but I've never gone hungry or been homeless. I've never felt totally alone or unloved. I have dreams and people who are willing to help me work to make those dreams a reality. I got great parents (and I mean the egg and the step and not the sperm). Not everyone can say all of their needs are met and many of their wants too.
I'm happy enough that I want to have a long life in this lifetime.
And yes Rosie, I have 2 sisters that keep my life interesting......and happier.

Despite a rocky start and a lot of hard work and stress, I would have to say yes to having had a happy life. Not euphoric but happy.

I've had a very happy life and in most ways I will take the happy life one step further and say I've had a charmed life.

I haven't had enough of a sampling of life to know the answer to that question.

I've had a happy life, it had some very rocky moments but overall my life has been fairly happy.
