Oh my goodness, I've been meaning to write all week, but haven't had a moment!
Grama, I'm sorry you aren't enjoying The Happiness Project, but I really like it. I guess it's because I'm closer to her life place than you are. I've underlined quite a few of her thoughts that I've enjoyed and I am motivated by some of the "projects" she worked on. I related to quite a few of the struggles she has, like desiring appreciation or at least recognition when she does things - though I'd rather give up that need for the good of the team than the good of myself. I also got some ideas for things I'd like to incorporate into my life, just for the pure goodness of them and maybe extra happiness will come too.
In addition to The Happiness Project, and some other books sporadically, I am also reading The Lord of the Rings. It's taking forever, of course, but I am really enjoying it. It's a fascinating book and you just get drawn into the characters and places. Sometimes I wonder if I'd like it as much if I hadn't seen the movies, which give me faces and such to put to things, but truly, the book is still awesome regardless of the movies.
