Interviews -- Dennis and Phil

The interviews for this assignment were with my neighbor, Dennis, and a carpenter friend of his (Phil) whom I had never met prior to today. Dennis, 53, is married and has grown-up daughters raising families of their own. Dennis has a tree-trimming business and lives a few houses away from where I live. He regularly attends Christian worship services, he is an active member of the local Rotary club, and he goes to Mexico to help people who are still struggling to rebuild after the earthquake in 2011in Baja California.

Phil is a finish carpenter who has been working on redesigning Dennis's kitchen. He is 32 years old and has lived in this town his whole life. He is married, has two young boys, and his wife is a school teacher.

That's why Rotary is a big part of my life; we are constantly helping others in our community. I don't think I consciously say to myself, 'I'll make my wife happy today.' I just love her so much I intuitively and naturally do sweet things for her.

Question: Do you view happiness the same way now as you did when you were a boy?….....
