Something to Look Forward To

I always love something to look forward to. Friday is ALWAYS there to look forward to. There are of course annual, maybe monthly events to look forward to. Girl's nights. Date nights. Coming home each day to see my little one. Alone time.

I have a LONG list of books I want to read, all of which I LOOK FORWARD to reading. But it takes me a while to get there. In my fit for researching and talking about happiness and how it pertains to my life, I recently remembered this book. I first read about it several months back in my FAVORITE magazine, Real Simple.

From Amazon.com:

Ask any woman how she's feeling. Even when things look pretty great from the outside, chances are that at least one thing is nagging at her. Whether it's the size of our thighs or our bank accounts, there always seems to be something that isn't measuring up to our high standards.

In The Nine Rooms of Happiness, Lucy Danziger and Catherine Birndorf use the metaphor of a house to release us from this troubling phenomenon.

* The Basement: Memories

* The Family Room: Your nearest and dearest

* The Living Room: Friendship

* The Office: When work follows you home

* The Bathroom: Body image

* The Bedroom: Intimacy and relationships

* The Kitchen: Nourishment and the division of chores

* The Kid's Room: Parenting

* The Attic: Expectations


Sounds pretty great, huh? I look forward to this one!


PS-Another thing I look forward to is my monthly issue of Real Simple in the mailbox. Oh, glorious day!
