I wondered a few days ago if I were the Grinch of New Year's Eve. It's never been a big deal to me - one year I was downright bummed, thinking that there wasn't really any reason to celebrate, considering national and worldwide trends... and I'm not a huge fan of staying up late, or drinking, and that's the way it's usually celebrated. Of course now that we have kids, staying up late isn't wise because it takes energy to raise kids and they are going to wake up as early as ever. Third, I feel like it rushes Christmas.
This year, because of a collusion of events, we are celebrating Christmas today with my side of the family It's January 2nd, later than I've ever celebrated Christmas, and I'm glad. It's the happiest way I've ever started a New Year. It makes me think that just maybe the magic can keep going.
And why not? Okay, so here's the big reveal: I've been looking online at books about happiness. There was one just published and promoted through Noisetrade that made me think about it.
Here are a couple of options: one by Randy Alcorn. This bestseller about positive psychology. A small group study by Rick Warren. That looks good! I'm glad there's some options out there. Wouldn't at all mind learning about them.
