Life is Nuts But It Can Also Be Happy

I was intrigued when my daughter's friend Angela mentioned The Happiness Project at my daughter's scrap booking party. Happiness Project....hmmmm,....Happiness a project? Happiness takes work? What an interesting concept.

Yes, life can drive you nuts but it can also be happy! So I looked up the book on the internet. Like anything in life, sometimes it is the approach that makes the difference. Happiness project is defintely a different approach....way of finding happiness in your life. It is also an understanding of what happiness is and where it comes from.

Happiness is different for everyone. Like you, happiness is unique. In Gretchen Rubin's book The Happiness Project, she states that Happiness is 50% Genes. Some people are more naturally happier then others. The other 10-20% comes from life circumstances. The final 30-40% comes from how we think and react to life. So some of us defintely have to work harder at happiness then others. But what is most important, is that we learn how to capture the happiness we all so deserve. God is a loving God and to see us happy, makes him happy.

So check out the Happiness Project and begin your project to Happiness!

Happy New Year!

Yes it is a happy New Year. I transfered back to the Augusta office and have been elated! Happy!
I worked in Aiken office thinking closer to home would be better but soon found that was not the case. In all of my career I have never worked such a wonderful group of people then those in Augusta. So my plan is to stay here until I retire where I am happy and love the people that I work with. And retirement is not far off. And that make me Happy too!
