Ibby - do you like philosophy?

I like to think I follow an Epicurean ideal - which is NOT what a lot of people think it is.

I am living in genteel poverty but I am wealthy (in my own mind). I have a roof over my head, art to look at, decent food, a warm bed and friends who understand me.

that is my definition of wealthy.

Redefine your terms and you might be happier where you are at the given moment.


eta - UT's advice is right on, too.
