That's enough.

I have learned from experience that happiness is an acquired skill. Children are one of the greatest lessons in happiness, constantly challenging us to enjoy the moment, as the next one will not be the same. Gratitude is essential to happiness.

Happiness is a muscle we must use, or it will wither away.
Marianne Williamson

Oliver Goldsmith
