So, it's Earth Day again. Time really flies, huh? Seriously, I say this, because I remember starting my blog on or around Earth Day last year. So, on the occasion of my anniversary, it is a perfect day to recommit to working on blogging more diligently. If I reframe my approach and do a little bit each day I know am going to enjoy posting on a much more regular basis. Can you tell I just finished reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin? It has given me so many new ideas and techniques for dealing with all aspects of my daily life. It touches on everything from clearing your clutter to not expecting praise from others to getting more sleep (duh?) to being more mindful and the list goes on.... I must admit I was very intimidated when I checked out the blog, after seeing Gretchen speak at the JCC last month. It seemed like a lot of work to be happy, and who has that kind of time. I was still so intrigued by the idea of being happier, that I bought the book and began to read it. I found it to be much more digestible in book form, at least for me, and I found the anecdotal style very manageable. I find myself recalling many of the ideas put forth in the book on a daily basis. I haven't tackled any big projects yet, but I will... I hope. In the mean time, I am singing every morning on the way to school and I can assure you that there are smiles on the faces of all involved.
Happy Earth Day! Happy Blogging! Happy Everything!
