The Happiness Project and other random thoughts

I have been reading "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin and it has given me a few good ideas.  I intend to blog every day about what has made me happy the previous day and I also realize that I need to laugh more - so I hope to record in my Blog things that will help with both of these goals.

Thinking about yesterday----  I was happiest, as usual, on my morning walk, when the world was fresh after a night shower and sparkling clean in the sunshine.  The breeze tempered the sun's rays and all was right with the world.
It was also fun making lunch for the family - Nanna came on the Handidart - even though my back will not hold up to much more than an hour of work.  It is a pesky thing that slows me up now - nasty pain right between the shoulder blades.   Nanna took my arm during the afternoon walk and her leaning on me was almost more than I could endure - but I toughed it out.

A charming story on the news topped up my happiness quotient.  A young poet in Toronto has been writing love poems and randomly scattering them about the city for people to pick up and be amazed.  What a lovely gift to the world!  That inspired me to try something similar.
