Thank you for the pings!

I always enjoy Mrs. Noonan. She always reminds me of a southern woman, the way she writes. It's surprising to learn she was born and grew up in Brooklyn. (Not that it is a bad thing to be a northerner, just different styles)

I think of her writing like a prize rose. When I find I don't agree with all her thoughts, the whole of it is just so lovely that you hardly notice, and don't even mind, the ocassional thorn.

Thanks again, so much, for the flags.

Excellent article by Peggy Noonan. Thank you!

We work so hard to find happiness. But more and more I think of what a friend told me on the phone 10 years ago after I had written an essay on the subject. He called and said: "This is a famous quote from someone, I forget who, and this is what you mean. 'Happiness is a cat. Chase it and it will elude you, it will hide. But sit and peacefully do your work, live your life and show your love and it will silently come to you and curl itself upon your feet.' "

So very true.
