“Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.”

~ George Burns 

This quote makes you laugh because it catches you off guard. 

You find yourself agreeing wholeheartedly during the first part, only to find yourself agreeing again when he says something that seems to reflect an opposite sentiment at the end. 

We love to feel connected. We want to feel close with other people. 

But human imperfections always demand a little bit of space. That’s especially true with family members who don’t always politely respect your privacy boundaries. 

So we prefer it when they live in another city. We can have all the closeness and intimacy we want in small doses.

There are certain skills and talents that I’m fairly proud of. But it’s my weaknesses I’m most proud of. Well, to be more accurate, it’s the growth I have managed in those areas that makes me glad. 

For whatever reason, I didn’t start this life as an accepting person.
