Changing Man

[Gardener]

Over on cville2091, Antlers mentioned the philosophy of being responsible for one's own happiness. Cville responded, I responded to cville.

I decided to drag my response over to my own thread to make sure I see it, re-read it and own it.

Maybe I have never fully embraced it ever in my life.

cville, I hate to/have to admit this here, but I've thought it several times lately so here goes: I haven't embraced it myself in a long time. In a number of ways, maybe many ways, I gradually shrank my circle of life (I thought in a way that that's what naturally followed contentment). I put my wife in charge of/responsible for much of my happiness. She resigned.
