"PRICE"

What is the price of happiness?
Well, I know better than most that the ultimate price is life. Luckily that is for a minority!
The price of happiness is probably different for everyone.
For some, that means sitting by a river with a worm on a hook, or partying all night or travelling the world.
For me, now, the price of happiness means foregoing about $20,000 /year in order that I get to spend more time with my family. I no longer spend my Sunday doing a work program. Instead that is done on a Tuesday while Sian and John are at work and uni. This gives me more time for the 'me' things in my life. At the moment that means some reading, some visiting, some mother/daughter time and some retail therapy. Eventually I'd like to write a book and I'd like to do an art course or two in mixed media collage or painting.
But, all in good time.... my time!!
