Connect 2 Happiness: Days 2 & 3

Well, I'm still working on day 1.  I need to find a notebook to jot down my ideas.  I know I have one laying around somewhere.  I don't want to go buy a new one.  If you have read the 1st Shopoholic book you'll understand why!

On Day 2 they recommended getting "Grounded".  What I got from this recommendation is to slow down and just take in your surroundings.  It's a bit cold here so I don't want to be without my socks, but I am taking the time to sit and observe the people and animals I cherish!

Day 3 wants you to "Boost Your Endorphins" and get moving.  I get this.  Working out makes me feel better.  I usually never regret a workout, unless I'm sick and I get worse.  Since I'm fighting a chest cold I think I will get moving, though at a slower pace!

Have a wonderful weekend!  Tomorrow's my birthday and I'm looking forward to opening my mom's gift and playing with my new toy!

Happiness Challenge!

I got an email from Gaiam and their Connect 2 Happiness 30 Day Challenge.  This is another area that I would like to work on this year.  This is an area in my life that struggle with and would like to change my outlook on.  Overall I am a happy person, but I do have my moments.  I need to remind myself about what I enjoy and love.  This will help take the focus off of parts of my life that are not so much fun.  Here are the questions they posted for Day 1:

1.  What makes you happy?
2.  What are you passionate about?
3.  How can you bring more of that into your life?

I think these are good journal prompts to write about.  I don't think I will express my thoughts and feelings on this blog, but I will post the questions they give so you can journal about them if you like!
2) What are you passionate
