The Happiness Project....

"In my mind...[if] you wake up healthy, and you wake up happy, and your family's safe and happy and healthy, then everything else pales in comparison." Faith Hill, singer



I recently had dinner with a great friend of mine. We had not seen each other for ages and it was awesome catching up on our lives. My girlfriend filled me on a book that she had just read, which had a huge impact on her life. I was enthralled by her review of the book and the changes she had already made in her life.

When I returned home at midnight, I ordered the book online and excitedly waited for the postman to deliver the goods. Fast forward to this past weekend, when I finished the book. Well, I have to say, its a pretty good book and one I would recommend to other women.

It is called "The Happiness Project" by Gretchin Rubin - http://www.happiness-project.com/. It is about a woman who has two young children, a career, a marriage and the juggling act we are all familiar with. Her mission is to spend a year discovering her true happiness in every area of her life and then incorporating changes to ensure her happiness is fulfilled. Its a book that really gets you thinking!

What is happiness? Do you experience true happiness every day? The goal is to fall into bed at the end of the day, as we all do, exhausted, with a smile on our face knowing that we have experienced happiness in some form or at least helped someone else experience a little bit of happiness in their day. It costs nothing. All it takes is for you to think about it and act on it. Try it. It could be the difference in our day that we all need.
