What makes you happy

popa smurf

Survey in the paper today we are the 18 happiest nation in the world, what makes you happy, for me its going back down to the home place and going out for a few scoops with the brother and father and talking farming and football with them and the mother given out to us for keeping the ould lad out all night.

I'll be happy when herself knows how to make me happy.
other than that cattle thriving, and progression in what whatever im at whether that be farming or the real job. I also get a great kick out of the auld man enjoying changes round the place.

Is happiness attainable? Maybe contentment for a few short minutes when the sun is shining, cattle are all out grazing and all of yours are alright.

what about rent falling? how binding is your contract when say after 5 years and the landlord is looking for 250 ac and you dont want to pay it as similar land locally can be gotten for 170?

Is that the going rate around your parts or did
convienience etc make paying that bit extra worthwhile

Stan I know it's negative here at times but setting your farm is a bit extreme.

Herd of xbreds would cheer you up!!!

Thanks for ye feed back, Interesting stuff if you are into what makes people tick Myself personally have in the last 5 years lost 75% of my income, I am a self employed landscaper but herself has picked up the slack and i am spending a lot more time doing family stuff than i did when i was working 70 hour weeks and i am a lot happier for it.
