I am a very linear thinker, so I write beginning to end. I write hundreds of pages per book that never make it into print.
The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have.
The turning point for me was when the Supreme Court installed Bush in 2000, even though he got half a million votes less nationally than Gore. It was nothing more than a bloodless coup and that's when I really started paying attention.
