Yesterday morning I caught the train into the city as I do every Tuesday and Thursday morning. I sat in a seat away from the window to catch the sun. As we pulled into the next station, I moved across so someone could sit next to me and as she sat down, the woman turned and smiled and said 'thank you'.
I rarely chat to people on trains or planes. I savour the time to myself. I read or listen to music or just daydream. But yesterday my companion and I struck up a conversation.
One thing led to another and she told me about a film that a friend had introduced her to on the weekend called 'The Economics of Happiness'. Who would have thought that a stranger on the train would tell me about something so engaging that I am now working out if I can possibly get to Berkeley, California next March to attend the conference.
Here's a preview. I hope you feel as inspired as I do.

Thanks Gill. It does sound great. Something you'd probably enjoy too.
It is amazing Cate when those things happen. I am constantly surprised by wonderful instances of serendipity. I hope you enjoy the dvd.
