I keep falling into old cycles and I was wondering how you guys keep moving! It can be anything. Like I recently took up running, I've been doing knitting for about a year, and I'm trying to start getting back into reading a lot more. Soon, I want to get a sewing machine and start making clothes. For you guys, what makes you happy? What helps you to keep things in perspective?

Being home in my safe place. Playing angry birds pop, putting together a puzzle and reading. I look forward to being able to do at least one of these things daily.

Great post. Inaction is the greatest risk of all, if you're not growing/moving your dying on the vine.

The direction almost doesnt matter, so long as you do something to keep momentum up.

As Einstein (depression sufferer and greatest mind of the 20th century) said: 'life is like riding a bike, you have peddling or you'll fall off'

Seeing other people happy is something that can lift my spirit almost every time, and that is a "content-n-happy" rather than just a bag of chuckles. Keeping things in perspective so I can feel/be content is for me the greater challenge, and there is where I have had to learn to continually guard against whining in favor of gratitude no matter what.
