Aggressive Happiness

I have been having a wickedly stressful year. Even the bright spot – Alvie Bean – is not without his own stress-making.

Things that I thought were long ago laid to rest have come up again. And lo! I find myself being NOT HAPPY.

So – a little over a month ago, I read and I decided that I needed a Happiness Project of my very own. But, as I am decidedly NOT happy right now, I need to be more…well…aggressive with my happiness.

So – I spent the last month building my own happiness project, and I hope that on October 1 of 2013, I can sit here and say, “Interwebs! I am pretty darn happy.” Because that is my preferred state of being. I am cheery! And realistically optimistic! And not prone to long bouts of depression and self-doubts and recriminations and paralyzing fear and anxiety.

And so – My Aggressive Happiness^TM project.
