A very useful thing for you to do is to look round at all your young married friends, and see what niches they have carved for themselves in the world  which ones are considered and have prestige, which are treated as nobodies, which are laughed at or pitied.

ppy and contented with your legitimate mate--make the current between you one of tenderness and charm, and sternly control every unbalanced fancy. I quote here another of my maxims: “It is a wise man who knows when he is happy and can appreciate the divine bliss of the tangible _now_. Most of us retrospect or anticipate, and so lose the present.” Do not retrospect--do not anticipate. Go on from day to day enjoying the good things which fate has given you: _ménage_ them like a careful housewife--use forethought--quite a different thing to anticipation! Recognize that you are happy and decide what makes you so, and how you can continue to employ the methods to keep this joyous state. Be perfectly calm, and believe that nothing can alter or interrupt the enchanting present. For do not forget--each one draws to himself or herself what his or her thoughts dwell upon. Those who lay up for a rainy day attract the rainy day as surely as those who always believe that good will come secure good.
