What is the good life-where can I find it? Do I have to be happy to have a good life? Or do I have to have a good life to be happy? It think it is all inside (sounds like a J C penney ad but well...). Getting older is scary and makes me think of things I haven't been thinking before. Like death. I just read Paula, Isabel Allende's memoir of her daughter's sudden tragic death-her daughter Paula was my age when she slipped out of coma into eternity. So sad.
