Dig deep within yourself, for there is a fountain of goodness ever ready to flow if you will keep digging.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 7.59

When looking for the good in the world, the good in our days, and the good in our lives, we could always hope that some appears…

… but, hope, as we know, is for suckers.

Our job is to FIND the good in our lives…

… and it’s the act of finding that helps to inform the good we find.
