“People tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck,
something that will descend like fine weather if you’re fortunate.
But happiness is the result of personal effort.
You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it,
and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it.
You have to participate relentlessly.”
–Elizabeth Gilbert
Corrine, you are evidently every day wiser than ever before. Otherwise, I wish you that if you act similarly as in the quotation you really will find your happiness.
PS. For the time being I hope that you feel at least a little bit stronger and that your shoulder hurts less.
