A happiness project:
Dear everyone (and everyone else you know),
A friend of mine is undertaking what I consider to be a Very Important Project, which is to create a compendium of happiness—or rather, a book filled with contributions of “happy moments, happy stories, and happy memories.” I want you to help.
I have no idea what final form this project will take, but I do hope that it becomes something much bigger than just a book that sits on a shelf. I think that nowadays we neglect to pursue happiness on a regular basis… e.g., at the moment, I can’t recall the last time I paused to reflect on my own favorite things from the past, and I think that’s awful.
On my friend’s behalf, I’d like to ask for your contributions. In her words:
Tell me about one of your happiest or favorite memories. An instance you always look back on that makes you smile or laugh. A time in your life that you thought was miserable but, looking back, was magical. You can be brief or prolific, silly or profound. You can give background details or you can leave them out. You can focus on the minute, the hour, the weekend, the year. Spend a little while thinking (it’ll be fun, I promise) and then start typing.
So, if you would, take a few minutes to post a happy moment.
The personal reflection should be worth it alone.
Oh, and don’t forget to reblog this if you also think it’s Very Important.
Thank you,
Trevor
