I really appreciate it! Just to be clear, though, Gretchen Rubin was the one who wrote the book. But I love the idea of having a Happiness Project. Please let me know how your project is going, once you start it! Ellen Hi Tania,

Thank you for your condolences. I really appreciate it! Just to be clear, though, Gretchen Rubin was the one who wrote the book. But I love the idea of having a Happiness Project. Please let me know how your project is going, once you start it!

But so, so important. Happiness is definitely an "inside job." Thank you for your kind words! Hi Kim,

I plan on starting my own in January as well. Good luck. And I am so sorry to hear about you losing your mother. I understand that pain as I lost both my dads (dad and step) a few years back.

I used to believe that happiness was based upon conditions, but learned the hard way that it's not. I wouldn't trade that lesson because it involved me finding joy during hard times and chaos, a lesson I treasure. I love the idea of doing a happiness project over making a resolution. Very nice Ellen. Thanks! I absolutely love this idea!

Our culture doesn't support grieving very much; there is a hurry up and "get over it" attitude. But taking the time we need is so important! Thanks for sharing your experience, Laurie.

When we've grieved during over more than one year, we can get so impatient with needing to process afresh each time. That happens with me and my special needs kids. It's like I give myself permission only to grieve so much or so long or so often, then give myself heck for doing it over that limit. Lame! Definitely a good reminder in your post - thanks so much!

I don't have a source per se, but now I want to find one, so I let you know what I dig up. I've just read it time and time again. And our local hospice (that leads the bereavement group) stresses the physical link to grieving quite a bit. Thanks, Laurie.

It's true that even the helpers and the healers need to be reminded of that. "Making a fuss" is a good thing :) Thanks, Sophie.
