[quote=Anonymous]Same. It's the moments. I now just live for the enjoyment of little moments that bring joy or peace. My overall "life" is a not great on many fronts: partner, teen kids, parents, in-laws, money, career, retirement savings, health, etc. I'm never going to figure it all out or achieve some sort of comfortable life. What you are seeing and what I am experiencing is the U-shaped curve of happiness [url]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7529452/#:~:text=The%20notion%20of%20a%20U,evidence%20for%20a%20midlife%20crisis.[/url] I'm pushing deeper into my 50s and still waiting for things to take the turn for the better. Until then, I'm focusing on the little moments from the past week: walking in Rock Creek with my dog, ice cream with chocolate sauce for a friend's birthday, knowing I have enough money in my checking account this week to splurge and just fill the whole tank with gas[/quote]
