the HOW of Happiness

Someone actually wrote this book! According to a review I read (since I don't think this is a book I would read), the author, Sonja Lyubomirsky, "studied" the subject for 18 years, apparently, prior to writing the book. She thinks we fail to "recognize genuine sources of bliss," like walking on the beach and spending time with friends, because we are always in "pursuit" of happiness, cuz it is something to be chased or achieved. I don't know about the other 9 billion folks on earth, but I experienced bliss today, having breakfast with Maria at the Floridian, drinks with my girls at Southport Raw bar and a drive down A1A with my mom...and I didn't need 18 years to realize that was all I needed...

I love those! I think the lucky people are the ones that DO recognize those moments.

Practice makes perfect!
