But with my girlfriend, I've also learned to value the time I spend with her. Treating her like a princess also helps ;-)Stuart - Limitless Believinghttp://www.limitlessbelieving.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-23713430399346126662012-03-28T07:03:34.888-07:002012-03-28T07:03:34.888-07:00I used to own a pink shirt Nancy, believe it or no...I used to own a pink shirt Nancy, believe it or not.

You're right, children seem so much happier when they were born, but even at that young age, they're being 'corrupted' by negativity in various forms. Such a shame.<br /><br />Covent Gardens eh?

Of course some are more naturally disposed towards happiness than others. Hope life is treating you well.

I am married to an anglophile LOL. <br /><br />RileyRiley Harrisonhttp://www.getting-unstuck.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-24200289982814818762012-03-23T09:43:16.525-07:002012-03-23T09:43:16.525-07:00Great Article Galen - loved reading it and so true...Great Article Galen - loved reading it and so true.

Often, we tend to worry about what others may think of our actions and as a result, lose many of life's wonderful moments. Happiness looks so much like the Holy Grail with life's pressures that one tends not to notice when life is good. Slowing down, prioritizing and practicing consciousness is the answer. :-) It works for me.<br /><br />Great post, Stu. And that too, at one of my favorite blogs! <br />Thank you, Galen - I enjoyed reading Stu here!Vidya Suryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911836541019511108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-76206711353646572542012-03-22T11:15:30.942-07:002012-03-22T11:15:30.942-07:00Stu, Thank you for sharing your views of being hap...Stu, Thank you for sharing your views of being happy from a male perspective.
