I accidentally created a blog.

I have been thinking about starting a blog, and I sorta clicked on the wrong thing while reading a friend's blog and what do you know? Suddenly I'm writing this, a real live blog.

I want to write some things down that occur to me, that I love, that interest me. I like to share cool stuff. I like to know cool stuff, and hopefully this can also be useful to others.

My current love is The Happiness Project, a book by Gretchen Rubin. This is about her and her life, but it's applicable to each of us. She found herself "pretty happy," but not as ideally happy as she could be - happy, but sort of going through the motions. In any event, she did a ton of research which appeals to me GREATLY, figured out what areas she wanted to focus on, and developed a plan for twelve months of working on being happier. There are all sorts of wonderful discoveries, ideas, and generally cool and useful methods that she talks about. It's also well written which means I want to keep reading it. Every time I sit down to read a little more I get all excited and inspired.

One of my favorite quotes from the book is this one: "One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy. One of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself." You should definitely read this book. Who doesn't want to be happier?

I love this sort of stuff.
