Sustainability isn’t about the quick fix or the cheap solution.
Generally it means making a commitment and trying, as best we can, to honor it. In any worthwhile enterprise, from protecting the environment to preserving a relationship, we are going to encounter difficulties.
The good life is not a problem-free life. In point of fact, the process of overcoming adversity often produces some of the most rewarding experiences we will ever have.

Throwing in the towel at the first sign of trouble or small inkling of distress may be the easy thing to do, but it doesn’t help our self-concept.
Most of life’s troubles can be overcome if we are willing to work through them with patience.
- Michael A. Schuler
Hope is itself a species of happiness, and perhaps,

“Autumn begins with a subtle change in the light, with skies a deeper blue, and nights that become suddenly clear and chilled.
The season comes full with the first frost, the disappearance of migrant birds, and the harvesting of the season’s last crops.”
