The secret to a happy life is revealed by Pauline (64) of Bournemouth, UK: "So you just got the sack, got a gruesome illness, your husband left you, and you are about to get kicked out of your flat for not paying the rent. You are miserable and unhappy and life just sucks and you hate people who tell you to cheer up. Well I'm here to tell you that the secret to a happy life is acceptance. Accept the things that life dishes up to you and find ways to deal with each situation and although dark days may come you can feel happy in the knowledge that you have accepted the experience and are making an effort to put your life on track."
