Can life be perfect? Is it too good to be true?

Question - (1 February 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 2 February 2009)
A female United States age , anonymous writes:

My husband and I have been together for thirty years and married twenty-six. We have a twenty-five year old son and two twenty-three year old daughters. I also have one grandchild whom I spoil like no other! Even if she is about 7500 miles away. Anyway, my husband is a doctor at the local hospital here and I'm the Head-Nurse at the same hospital and we love each other more than day we married and are completely faithful to one another.

Our children have their respective careers grounded and stable. One of our daughters moved to England two years ago to be with her British pilot of a boyfriend and to pursue her Master's in English. Our son and his family went to Australia last year to advance his career. Our other daughter is currently in New York (the opposite end of the country from us) managing her art gallery.

I feel like my life is finally getting a grip on itself, but I'm wondering, is my life TOO perfect? I'm not complaining one iota about this, but I'm just wondering if this usually happens? Is this all too good to be true?

eddie agony auntAll of us go through our ups and downs. It sounds to me like you happen to be enjoying a smooth period in your life and you have your head screwed on properly at the same time. The good part is you happened to acknowledge and understand it.

You could just have easily complained that your ungrateful kids are scattered across the globe and you feel left out and alone. I do think that much of life is what we make of it. You see the glass as half full as opposed to half empty.

I've had some humbling experiences over the past few years that have shown me what is truly important. I'm sure that you see plenty of misery in your line of work so you've probably already realized that money can not buy happiness. Happiness and being truly content can only be achieved when a person takes stock and is satisfied or accepts how life has unfolded. We are resilient beings and have the ability to regroup when needed and redefine our roles in life. People who are too rigid and greedy never get there.
