It begins here

I am reading this book called The Happiness Project and I am loving it. There are so many changes I want to make in my own life to work towards improving my own happiness. I consider myself a pretty happy person but who doesnt want to be happier right? One thing I would like to do is start to write on my blog nightly. Even if it is only a few sentences. Just sharing how my day was, or a funny story, or insights and awarenesses I might have had. I think this will be good for me and my happiness and for my creativity. Now I am not trying to set myself up for failure. There might be nights where I dont write and that is ok. I am learning not be be so hard on myself and to give myself some slack too. My goal, or my resolution that is (read the book to learn more) is to write nightly. I will be talking more about the book and things I would like to incorporate into my own life in future blogs. I am hoping this is interesting to those that follow me, but to be honest I am doing this for myself. I think it is so improtant for people to do things to make themselves happy instead of trying to find it from an outside source. Not to say that its not good to gain happiness from outside sources too. I am just realizing that if I make myself happy I am more apt to accept and appreciate happiness from others. One of Gretchen Rubin's (author of The Happiness Project) Splendid Truths is "One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy; One of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself". See I care about all of you too! I am just looking forward to this journey and to all the information I will learn about myself and others and to the growth that will take place. Its all about happiness folks! Goodnight and Be Happy!
