I'm very task/goal oriented and often much too serious. <br /><br />My husband is much more a live-in-the-moment type of person and I find I live in the past (trying not to repeat mistakes) and live in the future (constantly plotting and planning our next vacation, project, etc.). I know intellectually that this robs me of present joy, but man it's difficult to make the switch. <br /><br />I'm going to take your cue and list things that I find true joy in and then incorporate those things in my life--see, I told you I was a planner;)! <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for sharing this. You truly inspire me and I love checking in, seeing your cute kids and reading your thoughts on life. <br /><br />All the best!

(I'll text you a picture something I just hung in my kitchen.)<br /><br />You wrote an entire paragraph of things that bring you happiness that you enjoy quite regularly, so I think you ARE actually a lot happier than you know. <br /><br />And then there's the quote, "Happiness isn't doing what you like, it's liking what you do."<br /><br />But to address Number 8, let's go to lunch tomorrow. I really feel bad about canceling, and I can make it work. And if we could figure out how to include a certain sister-in-law of mine, you could kill two birds with one stone.

You can find him on Netflix and some snippets on youtube as well. Our whole family loves him. Good clean humor (once in a rare while, a PG swear word, but that's it).Ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907425626980991369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-58646015638347094812012-01-11T16:52:44.421-07:002012-01-11T16:52:44.421-07:00I am reading this right now as well!
