If you seek so you will find. I think you can have a good life here and be active and positive but it does take effort. I am trying to do this myself, to meet people I can learn from and to have new and positive experiences.

You are so right about seeking out positive people and looking for activity. When I came here I was thin and fit. I have gained 20lbs in 2 years and have been lazy and slothful. But not anymore. I am soon going to Nepal for an adventure vacation and have made some great friends here. I am eating good food and I am exercising and feel a whole lot happier.

There is much more to life than the material. I am sure that you will find what you are looking for.
