Purpose and Meaning

Flower in the Road Drain

Welcome to October!

I was looking at some of my old books thinking wistfully of decluttering somewhat.  I came across this book by David Niven called 'The 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People'.  Mine is the 2001 edition but I think there is a 2006 edition out now.  It is full of tips based on scientific research.  I decided this one is a keeper.  In fact, I think it is time to reread it.  Make realistic comparisons (to those who faced the same challenges you did, not to those who have more), cultivate friendships, unconditionally accept yourself, stuff like that.  Above all, ensure your life has purpose and meaning.
