Happiness

[jeffreyab]

In reference to my earlier post I have been trying to build up my social capital. This is particularly important in relation to a recent article in the Sunday Science section of the Toronto Star which relates lasting happiness to the people in our lives rather than to the toys we own. It basically says while the toys will increase our happiness for a little while its our companions in life who give us the most happiness. I think we can include partner and family in this.
Just thought that people should know.

Well by secondary I mean having a relationship with someone for whom you are not one of their best friends even if to you they are one of your best friends.

Long distance is anything over 15 to 20 minutes which includes Port Huron if the border wait is slow.

Finally as I get older I find I am losing friends and even strong acquaintences as they move farther away, follow different interests we no longer have in common, and make new stronger realtionships with less or no room for me.
