yours is making- you feel like a stranger in a strange land.  Is your emotional outlook now encouraging? Quite probably. Will it be the best you have ever had?How can we measure satisfaction? So much depends on what we're expecting, what we're up against, what we're in need of. And there's another distorting factor too. Memory. It tends to be so deceptively selective. Nothing can beat a time you believe to have been unbeatable.
