Quote an interesting meditation

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. - Sidney J. Harris

This rings true to me, though I am not sure it actually is. And since I am the queen of things left undone in my personal goals (or at least part of the royal family) this could be considered tragic.

Be Denmark: Lower your expectations

According to recent research (thank you NPR), the secret of happiness is an income of ~$70,000/year and low expectations.

Does this make anyone else depressed?

Although, I do think maybe its good. Do good. Do your best. Be surprised and pleased even with small good.
