Megan was writing to me tonight as she and her sister were driving around Regina. She said that as they were sitting at red light with the music blaring, Katie started dancing in her seat.
Just then, a guy in a big pickup pulled up along side on them.... looked at Katie..... and started dancing along with her..... and then drove off.
When big (ish) city meets small town, good things happen!

Have Realistic Expectations
People who are happy don't get everything they want, but they want most of what they get. In other words, they rig the game in their favour by choosing to value things that are within their grasp.
People who find themselves dissatisfied in life often set unreachable goals for themselves, setting themselves up to fail. Yet people who set high goals for themselves and reach them are no happier than people who set more modest goals.
Whether you are assessing your position at work or your relationship with family, don't begin with fantasy pictures of the world's riches person or the world's ideal family. Be realistic and strive to make things better, not perfect.
