Happiness: The Crooked Little Road to Semi-Ever After

Happiness is episodic; it’s hard to know when you’ve caught its coattail.

If you are lucky, you meet four or five people in a lifetime who you’re totally comfortable with. Comfortable in a way that causes your best self to surge forward. With them, rowing through life’s quotidian mess is an adventure.

We find happiness, if we find it at all, on accident. We trip over it on our way somewhere else.
