We are digging deep in response to a recent study that shows despite the significant economic growth in this country in the last thirty years our happiness levels are declining. On most quality-of-life metrics, the United States lags behind so many other countries. We wonder what happens to a nation or for that matter a family when we prioritize economic growth over well-being.

How strange it is to think about the idiom “keep the home fires burning,” while witnessing the catastrophic and ongoing fires in California. The phrase comes from the 1914 song “Keep the Home Fires Burning (Till the Boys Get Home)." The song was written to encourage families to stay strong while their boys were shipped off to fight in World War I. In modern usage, the phrase has come to represent comfort and stability. In the midst of trauma, how do we match loss, worry, and anxiety with a sense of hope, optimism, and love? How do we redefine our understanding of “home” in order to strengthen our families and our neighborhoods? We are inspired by Maria Shriver’s essay “What Angels Do,” published in her weekly newsletter, https://www.mariashriversundaypaper.com/what-angels-do/, as well as the essay by Buddhist teacher Thich That Hanh, https://plumvillage.org/articles/our-true-home.

Wow. Sometimes we surprise ourselves with what comes out of our mouths. Yup, one of us is having trouble processing this from writer Elizabeth Gilbert: From Elizabeth Gilbert:“The actual facts are that women who do not have children and are not married, live longer than women who are married with children. They earn more money. They are healthier. They are less likely to die of suicide, less likely to report themselves depressed and anxious, and more sexually satisfied than women who are married with children. So the opposite is true of men, that married men do not outperform single men. And the reason for that is that women pour their lives into their partners, and so they literally exchange literal years of their life by pouring into their partner, uplifting their partner who will then thrive and succeed and prosper and the women will wilt in the giving – which is what we are taught.” Your thoughts.
