Emotion

I'm not even sure I have anything worthwhile to post, but I've been so super emotional lately I feel like I just need to write. Lots of things are happening and I've been very busy working (gratefully) but things are still qutie rocky and I'm plowing through. My book is definitely helping me out there, keeping me on the road to happiness and to the positive side of things. I just find that lately I cry very easily. Needless to say, I cry easily on a normal basis, but lately it's been ridiculous. I'm trying to chalk it up to female issues but I can't help but think I'm just in a general funk.

In keeping with my attempt to stay positive and focus on that, here are a few things I'm thankful for this week:

- Peej - my beautiful, smart, healthy son - my husband who loves me even though - Sarah Grace - the author of the book that i'm reading - for friendships that are strong and true - that Jaime has a healthy baby coming in 2012 - paper and pens - DVR - my jobs - restraint

enjoy your day folks.

The Happiness Project

This is the title of the book I am currently immersed in, not coming up for air. It is a memoir about this woman who decided that she was happy ... but not as happy as she should/could be. So she decided to take on a 12 month Happiness Project. She took on all these age-old ways to make yourself more happy and also created her own ways putting a set of resolutions on every month and then adding the next month's set.

I can absolutely relate to this woman and how she came about starting this Happiness Project. I am not even halfway through this book yet, and I have taken vigorous notes, and begun to develop my own Happiness Project. I, of course, will not be starting my own until I have finished her book and learn all I can learn. I do need to say though, to whoever may be reading this, that you can always be happier than you are if you just look at yourself and work through YOU. Don't make your unhappiness about other people because it isn't.

I will absolutely be updating a bit more often as that is one of the factors to being more happy. For now, I leave you with one 'Secret of Adulthood' of my own creation.
