Thought for the day.

I don't typically cut things out of the newspaper but I came across the "thought for the day" in our local newspaper a few weeks ago and was drawn to it. I don't even normally read this part of the paper but on this day, I cut it out and put it on our refrigerator.

It says "The object of life is not to be 'happy.' The object of life is to make society a better place in which to live. In the words of G.B. Stern: 'Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute."

This spoke to me as a reflection of my husband and I-if you know us, you know excatly what I mean.
