A toast to happiness.

So I'm the type of person that receives messages from "The Universe" in my inbox because a part of me several years ago was really into that sort of thing. Think of these messages as a sort of Stuart Smally-esque affirmation to start the day. Whatevs.

Mostly I delete them.

But the other day I was rambling to betty's sister about my typical bullshit as I cleaned out my inbox and ran across the message the universe had sent to me:

What if I told you, Victor, that you couldn't have anymore of anything... No more friends, no more money, no more anything, until you first got happy with what you have?

Easy to change,

The Universe

And I realized that I have so many things in my life to make me happy that I should be slapped for ever complaining about anything. Ever.

So here's to being happy with what I have and learning that that is enough.
