I'm happy... for several years I only used to be happy at football, drinking aways and at home, staying up, staying out but I'm happy. It's very weird. I got up at 5am, just changed from nights to days to see if I can work better - lovely weather here, probably in the 80s again this week - there's something different about working nights in the uk to here, maybe it's me being two hours ahead, I don't know.
I only went out this morning to get some cash out of the bank but ended up walking up to the local park which I'm yet to run around http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&h...pn=0.014252,0.028925&t=k&z=15&iwloc=addr&om=1 I ended up on the swings at 7am, it's a sand pit area and reminded me of being on the white beaches of Mamaia the other weekend.
It is strange, in the uk I was stifled by the economy and how expensive things had become,trains, football, normal pleasures, it's outrageous to be honest but here I feel like I'm paying the right amount for goods, ok so prices here are half the uk but I can live, the prices are comparitive to that of 1996, maybe still less but affordable.
I really don't like Labour, they sit in their ivory towers with all their houses talking of a strong economy, but it's a strong economy where the citizens are paying through the nose and being robbed to make it strong, how's that an achievement to be proud of?
So forget Iraq, that's Blair's and Brown's legacy but after being here a month I'm happy, happier than I could have imagined I think but it has only been little over a month and I do want to go back and see family, some friends and me cats at some point. Mum's ill, shouldn't have left really but after much discussion with friends and family, I'm only really in the next town when it comes to flying.
It's heart warming sometimes, many people say well done for losing four stone, five coming up - I hope, if I can stop eating these cheap biscuits, and well done for stopping smoking, cutting down on the drink, stopping gambling, moving abroad, clearing debts all last year, yes my achievement but it's heart warming when people say it spurred them on to take similar action and yes I still have fun without all that haha.
So I just wanted to say I'm happy, recently someone on here said they're now making the move abroad and said a little thanks, others are hoping to do the same, various people I know started diets at new years and have since lost a stone or two, others stopped drinking.
A few on my football mb, some are AA but not so A, one just celebrated five years on the wagon, another strange aspect, life in excess being reversed by many so they can enjoy life more, another weird aspect of uk life right now. is it the cost of living making us realise we can do without perhaps and the same making us want to move abroad for a better life? Another answer I don't have but sounds about right.
If you want to be happy, just go and do it, lose weight, stop smoking, stop gambling, cut down drinking, move abroad, afford life, live a better life, just go and do it, enjoy, be happy. The drugs don't work but perhaps this post is a product of the amount of sugar they put in Romanian cola...
Happy days!! No one likes a person that's happy. No one likes me, I don't care. :mrgreen:
