What a Fabulous Day

“I heard about this study done at Harvard—I think it was Harvard… I don’t know, something I heard on NPR—where 500 people were asked to track their emotions every 5 minutes. Turns out, on a momentary basis, most people experience an emotion ‘other than happiness’ about 90% of their waking hours.  And yet, that same 90% recorded their overall daily emotional state as happy. That’s exactly what parenting is like. Ninety percent of it is an ordeal, but for some reason, when I look at this picture and think of my kids, all I recall is the other 10%.”
