It has been a while since I have blogged. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed blogging...hence the blog title, "I feel better when I'm blogging." 

I started reading a book tonight called the Happiness Project by author, Gretchen Rubin. My initial plan was to start blogging again to record my "happiness" project, but because blogging makes me happy, I will probably continue blogging past my 12 month "happiness" project. To understand the full idea of the Happiness Project, visit the author's website at www.gretchenrubin.com. 

I'm working on my "outline" for the happiness project. The first month I will focus on charitable donations, which does not necessarily mean monetary. Each week I hope to blog about my experience in the month of December and how giving of my time and money is something that makes me happier.

Since it is November 12, I won't start the happiness project for several weeks, but I'll share little notes or quotes of inspiration and motivation from now through the end of the month.
