Make Me Rich!

If happiness was the national currency, how would you earn the most money? Would you need to change your career or the way you spend your time? Recently, I read Oprah's book What I Know For Sure which really made me think about what I do to get myself happy. My conclusion: Not a lot. I find myself getting into really comfortable routines. Routines I'm not even sure I like. Sometimes, I look back on an evening or weekend and think 'What a waste of time!" Clearly I'm not very smart.

It may be the Oprah haze talking, but I think it's time for a change. I'll put the summer bucket on the back burner and work on a happy list.  They say 21 days make a habit! Maybe by the time the hubby leaves I will have it all figured out! 

My short list for happy:

Taking pictures
Water--like oceans and lakes
Quietness
Alone time
A Clean House

Now, all I need is to change our entire economic currency to happiness and life will be grand! Who is with me?!?
