The best seat on the train

In describing his mother's family, C.S. Lewis wrote this:

"The Hamiltons ... had the talent for happiness in a high degree -- (they) went straight for it as experienced travelers go for the best seat in a train..."

Early this New Year's morning, I awake and read this. In response ...

My heart desires to write more like C.S. Lewis,

And my spirit desires to aim for the best seat -- at least the better seats -- on the train.

Happy New Year to all.
