Dare to be happy
Every now and again I’ll pass a bill board on the 30 Freeway that says “Let misery keep its own company. Dare to be happy”. And beneath is a picture of a bright yellow VW Bug. Clever advertising….and good advice tacked on for good measure. Of course we know that true happiness does not come [...]
