We discuss the article "Want to Be Happy? Think Like an Old Person," by John Leland (New York Times) and touch on these points: that happiness is a choice, that darkness or negativity are fleeting, and that ultimately, art, nature and spiritual teachings are what endure. We propose that a mindfulness practice can help us respond constructively to less than ideal circumstances. We also get into on Kristen's favorite movie, how Ally is a wannabe farmer and the many topics we hope to tackle in future episodes. (So. Many. Topics.)
