Success

How do you define success in life? – Asks the daily prompt.

Success can be judged in many ways. Success to me is having love of and for family and friends. Being able to provide a better life than I had for my children.

Having a successful career. And one not measured by money. No, you don’t have to be the president of a company. You can be happy in many roles. I’ve seen people go up the food chain very far and become more unhappy even though it might have the appearance of success.

Being able to appreciate the small things in life that make it very special. Never being hungry and always having a roof over my head.

Having the opportunity to do something you love.

Living a long, happy life next to family and friends who are doing the same.

Being able to live a little of it and not spend the entire time working.

Today success in my life would be recovering from the Covid bug and regaining my taste.
