Let's Get This Party Started
Okay, so I am a day late... but when you hear me say Happy New Year, I mean it! I didn't push myself to meet the calendar...to do so would be in the direct opposite of my goal. The goal being HAPPINESS !
I would like some company. You know what they say about happiness shared...it gets doubled or something like that...
Anyhow, I imagine that we can collectively find and create more happiness in a group. I have been inspired to take this trek by "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin. I will be reading her book as one of my sources of inspiration.
I have been entertaining this "happiness project" idea for more than 6 months..and maybe truthfully it's probably more like 9 months. And as I kept floating this idea around in my head, I imagine I was looking for a sign to whether or not to "jump in" and see who I could drag into the water with me (this is where YOU come into the picture) ! When I am looking for a sign, I usually find it. This specific sign was found in the check out aisle of Walmart no less. It was actually taunting me. The sign was dressed up on a Real Simple Magazine cover, "be happier this year..9 surprising strategies to get you there". How could I resist? I had purchased the Happiness Project book earlier this year, the fresh new 2011 calendar taunts me...seriously, what could hold me back?
I have added the link to the story from Real Simple magazine..a teaser to get us started...and you can see why it actually is a good time of the year (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) to help raise our mood.
and let me make a quick disclaimer: This is my first attempt of making a blog, a blog page, blog blog blah blah..so expect mistakes, changes and whatnot... - Susi
