Juggling Jodie: To invent your own life's meaning is not easy...but it's still allowed...and I think you'll be happier for the trouble. ~Bill Watterson.

To invent your own life's meaning is not easy...but it's still allowed...and I think you'll be happier for the trouble. ~Bill Watterson.

You probably will have to click the link below this cartoon to actually read it, but it is worth it. Joe found this and shared it with me. There is a reason he did and I am still formulating a lot of my thoughts around it, but I think it is safe to say that I am in the "trouble" part of this quote. I am not sure where it will lead...
