    Thanks for the smiles! I do have a comeback on the money not buying happiness, though. "Those who say you can't buy happiness have never bought a puppy."

    Thank you for making me smile today!

    Here's one I've remembered (perhaps not word-for-word, but close, I think) since High School:
    "Can anyone remember when times were not hard and money was not scarce?"
    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    It helped frame my lifeview for the next 40-odd years. (Add you know…some of them have been quite odd!)

    Have a lovely day 🙂
