The American Dream in 2011 is finding the sublime in everyday. Like taking a stroll at dusk through your neighborhood or sipping wine with friends on friday night. It's that simple

I have to disagree... it's not the American dream.. it's the global dream! :)

I totally agree with this. Especially these days, with the recession, so much political stress, violence... It's important to really remember how important those seemingly small things are.

This quote is perfect. I feel like it really sums up what the blogosphere is about for me, you know? All my favorite bloggers find joy in the little things, and share that with us, their readers.
