Joy is not in things; it is in us.

Today, May 22nd 2017, marks the birth of Biographista. And as it were, two hundred-odd years ago, then, May 22nd 1813, marks the birth of Wilhelm Richard Wagner. Though primarily known for his operas a great number of sayings can be attributed to Mr. Wagner. Sayings which, as I compose this inaugural post for what I aspire to turn into a loved and respected resource, carry with them, a wonderful appropriateness.

Joy is not in things; it is in us.

Thank you for your visit. I look forward to what follows.
