Orson Welles once said that “if you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story”.

What does that mean? How do you know when to stop the story? When are you happy enough to stop it?

Pádraig today had his biggest smile for a long time when Maria was talking to him. He so enjoyed listening to her talking about people, music, and life. How much he enjoys life. Normality.

But Socrates had a point – you could loose a lot of time fighting what exists when you’d be much better of building the new. An Saol on the Dreamboat. In 2015.

We won’t stop the story here. We’ll hang in. For the happy ending.
