1. travel
"One of the flash epiphanies of travel, the realization that worlds you'd love vibrantly exist outside your ignorance of them. The vitality of many lives you know nothing about. the breeze lifting a blue curtain in a doorway billows just the same whether you are lucky enough to observe it or not. travel gives such jolts. I could live in this town, so how is it that I've never been here before today?" Francis Mayes2. read

" Happiness...is more like a decision than a condition. It is a decision anyone can make, anywhere anytime. For it is not the enjoyableness of objects or activities or opportunities that make us happy or unhappy; rather our happiness, ROOTED IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS, make objects and activities enjoyable. Things events and opportunities have no value in and of themselves; they get their value from the significant part they play in our key RELATIONSHIPS with others" C. Terry Warren
