There's got to be more to life!

Is it possible that life can be one big party? Actually I already know the answer to that one and obviously the answer is no. But surely we can create our lives to be where the good times outweigh the bad, where having fun is acceptable not guilt creating. Does anyone have good balance in their lives? I find that responsibilities to family (husband and 3 kids), friends, work, housework all outweigh my sense of self. Add to that an extreme anxiety disorder and i find myself ceasing to fucntion as one should in our society. This all leads to a delightful state of affairs - depression. Thank God that I still have a sense of humour!!
