"There are lots of ways of being miserable, but there's only one way of being comfortable, and that is to stop running round after happiness. If you make up your mind not to be happy there's no reason why you shouldn't have a fairly good time." - Edith Wharton
I'm not unaware that the plans Jan and I have involve an element of "running round after happiness". But, whilst I understand what Edith Wharton is trying to say, she really is talking total phlegm. I mean seriously, who on earth is about to decide not to be happy?
I'd like to counter this quote with a more appropriate one.
"You've got to have a dream. If you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?" - Rodgers & Hammerstein c/o Captain Sensible
