30 Days to Greater Happiness

Filed under: 30 Days To... — gardener @ 1:12 pm

I don’t know about y’all, but one thing is for sure, I’m happy to see the weekend. I didn’t work today, and was actually able to get a few things done around here, such as the house cleaned and a few emails answered. Now to get some letters written, and I’ll be happy, happy.

November 13- Be optimistic. A positive outlook is associated with better health, a longer life, and greater joy. When you look to the bright side and believe people are good, you directly increase your own happiness.

November 14- Exercise regularly. Physical activity produces “feel good chemicals” (endorphins) in the brain, which promote satisfaction and well-being. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise, most days of the week.

Not So Sweet Deal

In an effort to become ‘happier’ I bought myself some 72% pure chocolate today. I haven’t had any of it yet, but I did share some chocolate truffle pie with Marcel at a local cafe today. It wasn’t as sweet as it may have been had he not just received a ticket for 100.00 for parking without using the parking tag that we were supposed to put in our window. He thought about it 10 minutes after we’d parked, but because it was so busy in our town, the parking police were obviously out in droves and gave him a ticket. Now all we can do is pray that the ticket disappears and that we never receive it in the mail. One can hope, right?
