Four Splendid Truths


Reading and thinking a lot about being Delightful and Happy for 

this month.  


I have been looking all over blog land and have found an excellent author who writes about this subject.  She (Gretchen Rubin )  has boiled happiness down to four truths.   


  • First: To be happier, you have to think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth.

  • Second: One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy; One of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself.

  • Third: The days are long, but the years are short.
  •  (click the link to see a one minute movie: http://www.theyearsareshort.com)  

  • Fourth: You’re not happy unless you think you’re happy.

Why I Post

This started out as a blog in my quest for weight loss. But after a year and only gaining weight in the process, I've decided to just write about my thrilling life instead.....so that's why I post.
My head will explode if I don't write down all of the flotsam that is in it.
This is why I post.
I am grateful for my crazy kids and fun family.
This is why I post.
I love to travel and party and be with fun people.
This is why I post.

NOTE: I will try not to speak about my weight loss woes any more

About Me

My photo
Melwel
I'm just a regular mom with big dreams. I love my family and I enjoy being involved in their lives. I married my high school sweet heart in 1983, and I love him more each day. We have made a great life together. I have to be performing in a stage show at least once a year, but I'm having trouble juggling it with all of the travel I enjoy doing. My favorite place to go back to is NYC-- with the great food and Broadway shows. I love to laugh loudly in movies, plays and in life. I live on the dark side .... when it comes to chocolate. AND I try to live on the light side when it comes to spiritual things.
