This weekend's New York Times had an article on Frugal Portland, and the writer Matt Gross pinpointed that certain joie de vivre that is found in Portland. And I think it just might be the recipe for happiness that I was looking for.
"Oregon has the country’s second-highest unemployment rate — [yet] there was a general indifference to wealth. In its place was a dedication to the things that really matter:
hearty food and drink, cultural pursuits both high and low, days in the outdoors and evenings out with friends."
I'm thinking about embrodering a pillow or something with some version of this as a motto of how to live life. Plus, isn't that a great photo? Good job, NYT.
