Something I read that made me ponder...

"The secret of happiness is to have low expectations."  That's what the Danish people said when they were surveyed about happiness and were found to be the happiest people in the world.  That's the opposite of my mother.  But how wonderful it would be to have low expectations!  David disagrees with me.  I strive to achieve that state but - sooner or later - fail. 

Most of us are accustomed to wanting more and more under the guise of needing more and more.  How much do we really need?  Downsize!  Downsize I say (mostly to myself).  That's a hard lesson to learn.
