Welcome back to Naples Max in 2010! My last post of 2009 was wishing you a Merry Christmas and yes, I did intend to stay off the net and out in the world until after the holiday. The holiday just turned out to be MLK day (plus a few, who's counting?).
I haven't ignored this blog completely, however. Just a few days after the New Year I added the Happiness Project badge in the middle column. Clicking on the badge will take you to The Happiness Project, a blog by Gretchen Rubin, author of the best selling book The Happiness Project - what else? The book is an account of the year she spent test driving theories and studies of how to be happier.
At the passing of each year we mindlessly tell one another Happy New Year, we make and share resolutions often breaking them in the first few days and weeks of January. The thing about making a list of resolutions is that they often involve some sort of denial; quitting smoking, drinking, eating simple carbs... Or worse yet they involve some Hurculean effort on your part; run a marathon, starting your own business, finally master that foreign language you studied in high school, leaving you defeated before you can get a proper start.
This year I resolve to be happier. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. If you would like to start your own happiness project this year just click on the badge to your right and join me and thousands of others as we embark on a Happier New Year.
Mindfully Wishing You The Happiest of New Years!
Maxine
