Hi Gribbons,
I've found the greatest joy in stretching the limits of my abilities and energies to serve others (and this service doesn't have to be something unpleasant--use your natural talents). No one ever made themselves happy by sitting around wondering how to make themselves happy. My advice? Get out there and do something challenging for you, something that you can give your heart and soul to; accomplish something. Laugh at the failures and the successes!
We didn't come "here" just to sit around thinking about and longing for "there." Just my opinion...please disregard if you don't like it. But I can say I'm a lot happier and more grounded in my 40s than I was in my 20s...and I have a lot less "me" time.
Spiritual people are all around if you accept "spirituality" in a number of guises. I don't know anyone who's into Ra where I am, but one of my former students, who believes in the Bible as literal truth, has come to visit and even though I'm sure his doctrine is different from mine, I can feel the high vibe he radiates and I can see the light shining in his eyes. I find people all over with that light...even on airplanes! Be on the look-out! And let your own light shine so they can see you too!
