Lol, well, the castle turned out to be an old, and ever getting older, mobile home, but it's paid off. The grounds are not manicured or maintained, but wild woods have many plant and animal surprises. There seems to be no servants, but they probably can't do things the way I want them done. Prince Charming is not rich, but he's a good man. So, yes, I am living happily ever after :)
I agree, ALF. Happiness starts with knowing how to create it on the inside, irrespective of external circumstances, future prospects or past experiences.
