“… and the Pursuit of Happiness.”

Not the acheivement of Happiness, but the joyous, endless pursuit of it.  To paraphrase two seperate books I’m reading, if you ever expect to reach a final destination where your happiness resides, think again.  Achieve your goals and you will soon feel driven to set new, most distant ones.

It is afterall, the pursuit that should be the pleasure.  

I’ve learned a lot through out my life from people how took the time to put their thoughts, emotions, and prospectives into the written word.   Everyone I meet in life has a favorite book or two and as I read more & more, I’d like to share the good ones with you.
