Ready, set...

This is a super long post. Apologies in advance. 
There's lots to say first time back in ten months.

Hope you'll hang in there.  Future posts will be more like me - short ;-)

Hello old friends.

It's been a while since my last confession blog post.  I have been a bit neglectful of late of this lovely little space I call my blog.  So I've decided to commit to a more regular writing schedule.  Regular for me does not necessarily mean every day...or even every second (or third...). By aiming for one day a week, I can give myself copious amounts of praise and a pat on the back if I manage to make that happen (because not unlike a puppy, I work well with praise).

Happy-yes

HAPPINESSYES.

I've read a great many books on the topic of happiness and gratitude in recent years. It's wonderful that there appears to be a definite shift in people's perceptions or expectations of what defines happy-ness*. No longer do we assume that happiness is limited to those with bucket-loads of money, or those who live in a state of constant hysterical laughter.  We have grown enough as a people to understand that different people express and feel happiness in different ways.
