Lovely Thought

I've come across a lovely quote by Oscar Levant, the brilliant composer, pianist, and regular panelist on the radio show, "Information Please."

"Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember."

I realize that the quote could be taken quite depressively, but I choose to ruminate on it fondly, considering the nostalgic amplification effect of the day-to-day happenings in our lives. It really makes me feel grateful for the later appreciation I'll have for the days that are boring, challenging, or irritating right now. Perspective is everything.
