| This book will have you look at lawns much differently. I gave it to everyone on my Christmas list a few years ago. Deeply impactful. | |

| I had the pleasure of working with this same publishing team and it's so great to finally have the time to sit down with this book. I love it, and having a grandmother from the south, I feel like I'm at home. | |
“Probably the wisest words that were ever uttered to me. Came from a therapist. I was sitting in her office, crying my eyes out. . . and she said, "So let me get this straight. You base your personal happiness on things entirely out of your control.”

“It's about not taking things personally. Even when you feel the world is crumbling around you. It's about choosing happiness over suffering. It's about retraining the way we think.”
― Laura Munson, This Is Not The Story You Think It Is...: A Season of Unlikely Happiness
― Laura Munson, This Is Not The Story You Think It Is...: A Season of Unlikely Happiness
“Suffering sucks. Don't do it. Go home and love your wife. Go home and love yourself. Go home
and base your happiness on one thing and one thing only: freedom. Choose freedom, not suffering. Create a life of freedom, not wanting. Have some really good coffee and listen to the red-winged blackbirds in the marsh. Ignore the mosquitoes.”
