A Happy Day with a Happy QuotationYou say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink G.K.

Sometimes our perspectives become outdated and we’re given signs like depression to help us realize that we need to redefine our ideas of happiness.
