I keep thinking of this certain expression, I don't remember if it was in English or in Hebrew, may be even Yiddish but I don't think so.
It basically means there is no calmness/peacefulness as much as a resolved matter or something like that.
I find it applies a lot to me (like when I finally finish with the IRS call and am able to put away the bill for good, or I finally register my child in a summer camp) and it keeps bugging me what the expression was. I don't know if this is the right forum for this but I figured writer's may know.
Thanks.

OP here-thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for!
Is there an English equivalent?

Thank you!
(Why are you anon?)
Metzudas David on Mishlei, 15:30 says similar.
אין בעולם שמחה כהתרת הספיקות
I always wondered if there’s an earlier source.
It’s so true.

Quoting in Hebrew may tell some posters who I am.

I knew of the quote from before; I've heard it referenced many times, including by several teachers in school. I typed it into Google and found where it's from. End of story.

Nothing that impressive there.

I remember reading that Metzudas Dovid, now that you mention it.

Lol.
Amother ivory was smart enough to go anon. Even though I'm not I'll let you in on my secret. I think whoever knows me already knows me.
I always loved this quote, it really spoke to me. I never knew where it was from and if I asked I was told it's just one of those things everyone quotes. Not helpful. One day I picked something up (okay not saying everything or I could just add my name, address and favorite color) and there it was. Someone asked where the quote was from and someone else answered. I took out a Sefer Mishlei and there it was in black and white. I guess you could say it was a small hataras has'feikos of my own Smile .
