I own and edit an online magazine for writers, The Cuckleburr Times. It never ceases to amaze me how rarely people say thanks when I inform them they’ve been selected for publication. It’s not that I expect them to turn somersaults or fawn all over me because I don’t. However I was brought up in a household where I constantly heard that “manners cost nothing.” And they don’t!

Ask people to sum up what happiness is in a few words and you’ll get a variety of answers plus a few furrowed brows. It’s a subjective topic, with parameters that are only defined within ourselves.
