My brother Zach a.k.a. Zsa~Zsa is pretty amazing when it comes to words. I just read one of his awesome posts, Wickedness Never Was Happiness, and was impressed by the ending quote. It made me think of a movie I love The Pursuit of Happiness, and what it represents. Theres nothing like a story of a man down on his luck and DOES something about it. Who strives for more out of life than what given him. Thats what this life is all about, right? We cant just expect things to happen to us, to get something for nothing. Otherwise, would we learn anything in the process? Would you truly appreciate it in the end? The answer is no.
"The Declaration of Independence asserts that we deserve 'not happiness stamps; not a department of happiness; not therapy for happiness. Pursuit"

When the Constitution was being written...The wording was that everyone deserved to pursue property...later changed to pursuit of happiness.
Still waiting for the pictures of your home.

I loved that part the best, too, and wrote to tell him that same thing. YOU are a wise woman, J. I love hearing from you. Just this afternoon Emily said something funny, but I'll be less public and share it with you in private. She misses you! (me too)
hey...have you sold your home YET?
Glad you enjoyed the quote--it really was my favorite line from the whole book.
