I came across this site the other day and, the times being what they are, I thought “what the hey, let’s see what this is all about.” I was right up against deadlines on a keynote speech, but I hadn’t squeezed them hard enough, so I had plenty of time to waste.
I tend to be a bit (okay, make that very) cynical about these self-affirmation rituals – no matter how hard I concentrate on being “worth it”, it’s still The Mother’s wrinkled face staring back at me from the morning mirror, not the smooth puss of Claudia Schiffer. But The Happiness Project piqued my interest, and I emailed Gretchen for her Resolutions Chart, which she sent me this morning, with commendable promptness. Guess I might give this happiness thing a whirl, and see how it goes – maybe I’ll end up happy to see the Old Dear every morning. Stranger things have happened.
You are my filter of what is worth reading…I have now added the beautiful, accomplished, educated (Oh yuck, she twirls her hair!)Gretchen’s blog to my own…It was valuable to note the synergistic linking of all of her sites…Once I get a book published (ahem) I will do the same…once I get a guaranteed publisher I can also add the advertising header to my blog…Happier days are still ahead
