The Garden

There is a Chinese proverb: “If you want to be happy for a day, buy a bottle of wine. If you want to be happy for three days, get married. If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, build a garden.”

- presented to me by Richard Miniter (circa 1992)

I am building a garden of family and friends based on trust, kindness, sweetness, and honesty.

So, who do you think will be the happiest person in the world?

Why, me, of course.

I’m the luckiest dude in the world: best family, best friends, and best career. I already won the lottery!

If I had 50 cents a day to live on, 49 cents would go to my family and friends, and I would keep a penny for myself for I only need a “peppercorn of consideration” to exist and live.

With love,
