The Happiness Project

I thought I'd share one of my favorite blogs.  I came across it one day when I was searching my name.  It's called The Happiness Project and it's by another Gretchen.  I don't read it every day but perhaps I should.  I do know I want her book when it comes out. 

I've come to the realization lately that I really do need to take care of myself.  I can't get home at 8:00 or 9:00 every night.  I can't eat whatever crap happens to be closest and/or easiest.  I can't do nothing except work and veg out in front of the TV.  I'd like to get back to blogging more.  Facebook has sort of taken the place of it recently.  But Facebook doesn't allow for thoughtful expressions.  Writing here, even if no one reads it, forces me to stop for at least a few minutes and be thoughtful (usually).  I also need to make a point of keeping in touch with people better.  I need to slow down and remember and acknowledge that I have a truly wonderful husband who puts up with a mostly absent wife and gives me almost no grief. 

To quote my song, "Please be careful with me.  I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way."
