My Yellow Brick Road

There are some things that just seem like universal truths to me.  Everyone has their own, a list of ideas they have learned through their lives.  These should guide the choices and decisions I make and my happiness project!  Here are mine (at least what I have so far):

1. Let Mindy be Mindy
2. Choose adventure
3. Move toward pride and away from shame
4. Believe you can
5. Just get started and the rest will follow
6. Constant reminders will help you get there
7. It's all going to be okay
8. Try not to compare, everyone starts somewhere different
9. Don't try to push the river (aka It's ok to let go)
10. You don't HAVE to do anything
11. The word 'should' can be removed from your vocabulary
12. Choose to have fun with it!

As number 4 statges, just get started!  This might not be my perfect list but hey, it's a blog, it's editable.  Now I just need to follow my yellow brick road.

My Happiness Project



The Happiness Project

 My husband got me The Happiness Project for Christmas and I read through it right away, totally inspired and have been thinking about it ever since.  I decided that it would give me a good format for this blog and hopefully help me get where I want to go!

The first thing Gretchen does is come up with her own 12 commandments and other Secrets of Adulthood which is where I will start.  She then determines her resolutions (one per month) and has some measurable mini-resolutions to support them.

I am going to do things a little differently and will share my thoughts once I post the resolutions.  It's been fun brainstorming ideas and I will share in the coming days.
