When I lived in that little Connecticut cottage, the water I used for making the cups of jasmine tea which warmed me in the early mornings and slaked my thirst in the mid-afternoons, came from a spring close by.

My happiness was just like that spring. It bubbled up all the time, unfailingly fresh.
