I think he was saying that, too, in the part where he advises her not to be too quick to move back to the city. But I do like his advice to look harder at the little things, because when making life choices, we tend to look at the big picture and toss the little things that truly make us happy. Indeed.

To add a contrary voice, I would say that if you followed this "analyze everything you love about the current thing" philosophy, is that it could make it more difficult to take chances on new things. Someday I will be old, stuck in my ways, unwilling to change, and yelling at kids on my lawn. That day is not now, and I don't want to generate mental blocks in the way of new experiences. So what if she didn't love her new life in the country? She may learn to like it after shes been there as long as she was in the city. Instead of complaining that the grass over here isn't as green as she thought it would be, maybe she should focus her energies on tending the grass where she is to make it greener. Change always comes with risk, I guess I have limited sympathy for people who take gambles that don't pay off. That's part of the deal :) Your husband wasn't so sure about New Jersey, but eventually it led to him marrying you, super-awesome-chica, and living in one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world. You just never know! Interesting.

'Cause they suck, too. I suppose they're just ... "depressed." What kind of -ologist always looks on the dark side of things? ‘Cause they suck, too. I suppose they’re just … “depressed.”
