Yup. Same! I've met homeless people that are abundantly happy and wouldn't change their life for anything and I know people that have everything you can think of yet are desperately unhappy and always trying to be 'better' than their peers. Not in this lifetime, no.
I love Darwins explanation of evolution. "It's not the strongest that will survive, it is those that are robust enough to withstand change"
You son sounds awesome! More of that please :)
I'm happy he's wanting to join, he's going to make a wonderful addition :)
If he's anything like you I'll be following him :)
