10 things I need to be happy

Share

As Americans, many of us think we need all of these materialistic things to be happy when in reality materialistic things will not buy us happiness. I know this. My ex-husband gave me full control of the money and I had the ability to get pretty much anything I wanted. However, all of that just filled the void which was the fact that I was in a marriage with no love. I didn't love him and I never felt like he loved me. It was a bad choice I made soon after high school. When DB buys me nice things now I am very appreciative. However, I don't need those things to be happy. It's his love I need. I really started thinking about what I need to be happy and have compiled a list of ten things I need to be happy.

1. My kids
2. Love
3. A few true friends
4. Food
5. A roof over my head
6. The ability to supply what my kids need
7. Creativity
8. Anything I can read and learn from
9. Hope
10. A computer with internet access and a word processor
