I think I've said it in previous comments here, but the older I get, the more I begin to believe that your state of mind is purely up to you, that it doesn't really depend at all on outward Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904458707918026205.post-86165541892987715102012-07-24T03:14:05.368+10:002012-07-24T03:14:05.368+10:00SO jealous Rachel!

I've also been reading Sarah Wilson's blog lately and one of her recent posts about 'meaning over happiness' really struck a chord as its true that happiness is often treated as a pinnacle moment, but it's all a matter of perception really, hence this post :)Rachel {little bits of lovely}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17952533338104675253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904458707918026205.post-56232846146018423352012-07-23T20:16:50.365+10:002012-07-23T20:16:50.365+10:00Hi Rachel, in your reading about happiness, have y...Hi Rachel, in your reading about happiness, have you come across the Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin? I loved her practical approach. She has a blog too with lots of great content. Agree that after a lot of reading though, its sometimes best to strip back to one principle to focus on, like you have. Good luck!<br /><br />http://blog.cultiver.com/Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803672212184043809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904458707918026205.post-36708237606959182282012-07-23T19:38:44.121+10:002012-07-23T19:38:44.121+10:00I love planning trips!
