Once, I rode in an elevator with a group of post-happy hour revelers on the way down from City Grill in Portland. They were locked in semi-coherent argument about what they would do if they could do whatever they want. The only woman in the group, who was much older than the others, weighed in that "We all do what we want, it's just a matter of how you hold it."

You can argue on the margins, but the kernel of truth is undeniable.

Take one small step today to bring yourself closer to memorable happiness.
