Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. ;O)

As I have said many times, this will be one of my lives that I look back on with great fondness. Being, right Here, right Now... is the only way to fly. Not that I haven't had my share of pitfalls, mind you, but I learned to pick myself up and carry on... from a very early age.
That said, I can't really describe what it is like to be in your "final" incarnation. It's quite the trip, I'll tell you that. You'll understand, one day.

Nope, you're still wrong
I love my life but I hate where it forces me to interface with others because they are the ones who screw everything up.

I love my life. Sure sometimes I hate it, but even then I love to hate it.

I must be satisfied with the life which "He" Has given me until death, But this is also true that chinu hate Living.Do you love your life, or do you hate it? Or is it something in between love and hatred.

I love my life. I'm thoroughly blessed. Even with annoyances and hardships...there is so much to be thankful for.

I neither love nor hate. It is just that I am TRYING to be grateful.
I love the pleasure in life, but life in general, I have no opinion.

For the most part, I enjoy my life very much. Some days more than others.
One thing I have learned is to be wary of wishing for something "exciting" to happen. Better to have a "boring" life and invent my own entertainment.

I LOVE my life!
I've had some tough blows through life, many of which I brought on myself by my own poor choices. And unlike what some people say, I DO have one regret -only one, but it's a big one.
You know what though, I'm even glad I have that one regret, because it's taught me a lot about humility and grace. Hard lessons to learn but they come in handy. I only wish I hadn't hurt other people in the course of learning those lessons.
Life is precious, even the mundane parts. Even the painful parts, because without the pain, I am not sure we could appreciate the pleasures fully.

I love my life.
The first time that someone told me that life was perfect, just the way it is -- it really, totally, pi**** me off. I thought that was probably the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard.
I thought that life was supposed to conform itself to my preference -- and in all areas it did not -- and in all areas that I saw or experienced heart-ache, pain or injustice -- that was simply proof that life was not perfect, that is was all unfair -- and that basically, reality, sucked.
I was wrong. That was one of those times that I was grateful to find that I was wrong.
One of the best exercises that I have found to do when I am feeling like everything is wrong, is simply to choose my life exactly as it is -- all problems, disappointments, etc. included. Choosing it as it is already releases the resistance to what is so that may have built up through unconsciousness. It is amazing the subtle, yet profound difference, that can make for one's own perspective and sense of peace and joy.

Sounds like a life changing experience. That's nice.
