"A cheerful home is the best security for happiness. There is not only a moral, but a physical cheerfulness that should be attended to. A well-lighted room, a neatly-served dinner, everything clean and tidy and bright, predispose the mind ot pleasant impressions. Let the prudent wife strive to attain this state of things, if she values her domestic happiness."
The Household Encyclopedia and Practical Home Physician
by Mrs. Beeton and A.L. James, M.D.,1883

Wish I could say I always attain that, but that wouldn't exactly be true. :)

Guess the important part is the "STRIVE to attain" part!
