So much comes from the unexpected opportunities that if we're focused only on the goal we can miss out on things and we can lose the context of what we're doing. <br /><br />e.g paying off the mortgage is a great thing but if the best part of our lives is gone doing it then the money means nothing and the freedom we thought we'd have doesn't exist. Goals need context, they're not just an end in themselves. thrift deluxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267215022924475298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-2280100964862617412013-07-02T06:50:32.296+01:002013-07-02T06:50:32.296+01:00Lovely quote and a great post.

I find I don't need much to make me happy, just a content little life for us. Don't know how long it will last when they turn into grumpy teenagers though! And if I have to go out to work full time that will be difficult too, but right now I am happy with what I have.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-76670864725174751502013-07-02T06:27:58.959+01:002013-07-02T06:27:58.959+01:00Hi there, sorry... no I didn't find any other ...Hi there, sorry... no I didn't find any other links - I wrote this post based on the original BBC News article.

We have our evening meal together every day and find it's a great time to chat about what's bugging any of us and the usual mickey taking and banter leaves us all laughing on a regular basis - a great tonic :-D Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554674359829400205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-46430778896766370682013-07-01T22:21:55.043+01:002013-07-01T22:21:55.043+01:00Hi I read this article too and funnily enough I ha...Hi I read this article too and funnily enough I had it in mind for a blog post as well but you beat me to it! Did you find a link to the World Happiness Database to get this extra stuff. It eluded me.<br /><br />Lovely Thoreau quote.
