"I feel like I am just wandering aimlessly around. Put things in place to change things but it's not am over night fix although I wish it was "
But don't you think that we all need things to look forward to and hope for and that's the point?
Or do you just want everything to be the way you want it right now!?

"Bit of both really, Bumbling along but to our own tune when it suits.
H hands in her notice tomorrow so we will see what pans out after Xmas.
S"
I'm so envious of what you both have!
I'd love to bumble along with someone I adore  |

As much as things could be better, overall, I think my life's going quite well.
My only complaint is that it took me too long to get to this point, and it feels like there's never enough time to do everything I want to do.
I guess I just wish I knew myself better when I was younger, but at least I know my life is going in the right direction. |

I'm healthy so anything else is additional ... I wouldn't say I'm happy with my life tho ... I just aimlessly bumble through it.
Shame really ... it could be so much more  |

I used to love my life. (About 2 years ago although money was tight)
Right now I’m seriously unhappy but that’s due to bereavement, relationship breakdowns and moving house. Looking forward to one day feeling happy again |

I was bumbling. Now I am blossoming.
I am being me again and whilst I don't love my life I am in love with where I am now.
It's too short to be unhappy, miserable and not grab anything you want.
Take a jump. |

I really love my life op. It does try to skip away from me now and again, but I keep a close eye on when I need to enjoy myself. Friends help me have fun, and I enjoy learning new things, it mixes it up. |

My life has thrown so much at me over the last 10 years but I always try to make the best of it. I live in a beautiful house, in a very pretty village, have an American Fridge Freezer stocked to the max, a nice warm bed, plenty of money, loving family and very special friends. I actually count myself very lucky.
There are a few things that need fixing but on the whole "mustn't grumble" |

It's not about the material things for me. I have a shitty car, no money in the bank but finally I am happy. |

When I was 21 I bought a book called
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE IN 7 DAYS
By Paul McKenna
I didn’t want to
But my life was sooo shit... i had nothing to lose...
Since then, I have never thought I was just existing...
There are lots of Scientific personal development book out there.., and I’d get one that best matches the type of person you are...
And always read with an open mind...
But if you are happy just living day to day, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that...
Just try to find fun in everything you do x |

A world of my own |
I plod along. Sometimes I really struggle and its far from easy. I don't have my parents or extended family and there are times when I don't feel like I have anyone in my corner. Life continues to throw stuff at me. However I get through each one. I portray a strong independent woman and have for many years. As such people don't seem to accept I might actually not be. I have my 3 amazing sons, I enjoy my job and I love where we live. Compared to a few years ago thats great. Sadly now I face health challenges and its scary. So its a slightly different struggle. My mantra in life is that " its always ok in the end and if its not ok, it's not the end." |

A bit of both. Just this year has been really shit for me. Never thought at 37 I would be in a marriage that I don't want to be in, in love with a bloke who I thought was great who turns out to be a complete bastard but I still love him after he's hurt me. And living in a house that I absolutely hate. |

Oh we have things to aim for, we need a bigger house but not in a position to afford one where & with the outlook we currently have, the answer was to buy a bit into the field, sell what we have & then build next door. To do all that we had to save & also wait till I was 55 to release some pension funds.
So now we are finally going through the motions
So we had a target, the bumbling part is that we are not really that bothered about when we reach it, as long as we do

I felt like I was bumbling for years in all honesty. I moved often with uni and work and never really settled or felt like I was doing anything more than playing the expected part of me.
I'm truly happy now for far too many reasons to list without sounding  |

We actually chatted about this earlier today.
We love our life as it is at the moment and hope that it stays that way.
Have been together forever and will only stop when one of us goes into the ground. |

I’m looking for someone to bumble with me, that would be heartwarmingly splendid. But I bumble well on my own meanwhile and I don’t expect there to be someone who wants me, it’d just be a bonus. |

Ok for some of us our lives might not Bed perfect or a bed of roses
But I always say there are people out there far worse off than most of us
When you watch children in need, stand up to cancer, comic relief etc, or walk past the homeless in the streets
Makes you think how lucky you are really |

"Well said, people always concentrate or the things they don’t have and forget what they do have and are lucky to have.."
Exactly
Many won't haveca warm bed to sleep in tonight
Many will be fighting a loosing battle against illnesses
I'm just happy and grateful for the life I have
It's far from perfect but I have a roof over my head, good health and a loving family |

I’d say I’m very happy with how it is right now. I’ve had worse times but it’s best to make the most of the times you’re in. It’s the good memories you’ll cherish and you’ll only regret the opportunities you never took. |

live throws some things at you but so far I always managed. the more I find myself again the more I enjoy being me.
and there are so many small things that can give pleasure and can easily be overlooked. I also work with people who are chronically ill so that puts my worries into perspective a lot. |

Life has ups and downs, but generally, I'm in profit...figuratively,not financially 
Write down three small positives at the end of each day, as big or as small as you can find...things like a good cup of coffee, going to bathroom without your space being invaded by marauding children or smiling at a stranger.
Happiness is a change of mindset xx |

I definitely love my life. I have had good times and bad times but always try to stay positive and appreciate how life treats me and what it gives.
There are people around the world that wish they had a life like I or we do.
We should all be nice and appreciate life more.
We only realise what you have when it’s gone. So love yourself |

The reason we like be our lives now is because we were both the kids with the poor background.
Alchohol, poverty etc.
That’s why we don’t agree when people use it for an excuse today to cover up for society, “the bad upbringing”.

I love my life and try to make the most of it. Yes life is a rollercoaster ride but that's what keeps it interesting. Fight your way through the bad times and you'll come out stronger, and embrace the good times. If you're unhappy about something in your life then try and find ways to change it, or change your attitude towards it.
You can't change the past so no point overthinking it and still living there, the future will happen regardless so just deal with things as and when they happen, the best thing to do is live life a day at a time.
Don't worry and be happy

I've done a lot with my life so far, seen and done some awesome things, I'm financially secure, I've got some great hobbies and a lot of good friends. But underneath all that I've never quite been able to shake off that feeling that I'm not 100% happy and that I'm looking for something that may or may not exist whether it's the girl I'd fall hopelessly in love with or a job I'm passionate about rather than just doing for money. I'll probably still feel the same in 20 years time... |

I have fulfilled all I set out to achieve in my life and more.
I don't have any problems or worries and financially secure enough to be retired at 57. Yet, there was something missing: purpose and direction I think.
That's why I'm looking to move out of London, buy a big old run down Victorian and do it up. The other half can and has built a house from scratch so we're planning on renovating our dream home in the country.
I feel excited about life! |

Yes I do now, a few months ago, maybe not so much.
Got an awesome Fab man, working again, not completely poor, got some fun things to look forward to, kids aren’t totally driving me mental so there’s definitely been worse periods.
Only negative thing is being so damn tired because of all of the above!

I should be happy with what I have. Compared to many, I am lucky with where I am. But, I still feel unfulfilled. So therefore, at the moment I am bumbling along and getting on with it. I stay hopeful that things will change for the better |

I have a gorgeous girlfriend, home, family and lots to look forward to, and not many worries.. But I still struggle a little with the black dog as Churchill called it..
The future is certainly looking brighter for me but its been a tough ride.. Chin up fella, time is a great healer and it will get easier..

Well I more and more come to the conclusion that I want someone different to who I have.
Yes I love my life but I have a wife who thinks it’s ok for me to be celibate as she has zero sex drive (I’m only 46 and quite young and fit and healthy)
I only come to Fabswingers to use it as porn and look at and read the profiles. Never met anyone though I have messaged a few.
Hardly ever go to the forums so.....HI

Thanks for all the comments - what a fantastic read
I feel pretty good today and appreciate my health and the roof over my head and money each month from a job that's bearable ( sometimes lol )
I'm trying to make other areas of my life better so I don't just bumble along.
It's exciting |

We drifted along aimlessly for a few years.. Money was OK (ish) and we liked where we lived, a few ups and downs but nothing major.. then we lost two friends our age within weeks of each other!!
Major wake up call.. firstly to be grateful for what we had, and secondly to squeeze every bit of joy out of each day..
sounds easy right?
So we sat down one weekend and decided that we needed more time, and as whilst we didn't have loads of cash, but no debt either, we could "take the air out of the tyres" so to speak.
We sold up, and now live most of the year (mortgage free) in France. Not for everyone I know, as we also considered a canal boat live aboard in the UK.
Thing was, once we took that out of the equation, what we needed to earn each month was drastically reduced. So we can do what we like (within reason). And have a bit more time (in our case) to stand and stare.
We work on line retail sites, etc with stuff we enjoy. the odd "antiques road trip' from the french markets to the UK.
We manage to only have to come back here once every 3 months or so now, but quality of life is so much better!!
Now we have just re-read this and it sounds a bit boastful I guess, but I hope it re-enforces that you can make changes (small or big) to improve your life..key is in the recognising it first x |
