Happiness Seeking

Last night I started a new book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. I was a little worried that the entire book was already summed up in the title. But I'm just a few chapters in and I think its going to be a good one. To paraphrase from the book: To be human is to have problems (simple or abstract and complicated) and to be happy we need something to solve. Happiness is a form of action. And true happiness occurs only when you find the problems you enjoy having and enjoy solving.

So true! Chris and I had a life we really enjoyed in Coolidge Corner. But we went looking for trouble moving onto a boat. I keep calling it life hacking as we try to figure out how to do everything in a new way. But maybe all we are doing is designing our life, one problem at a time.
