Kathleen Duey Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Get there. Add to the good. Q. How would you describe perfect happiness? A. SO, the first question stumps me? 

Hmmm.
Happiness is different things on different days for me. And perfect happiness might not exist in any case.
Today?  The sun is out, after a long morning of fog. I can hear my dog Adah digging her "sun bath" area in the back yard, which is messily full of plants I love. There is no wind, but the air is moving. I know this because my office fills with the smell of oranges every time it shifts to the west. 

All of that together is perfect happiness for me.
For today.
