The Happiness Project, by Gretchen Rubin
Summer, rhubarb pie, vegetables and good friends: it makes us happy!
Anne, the hostess extraordinaire, fluffing what appears to be croutons!
Anne and Cory: happiness personified!
In keeping with the book's expert advice, we decided it was best to be ourselves in order to be happy. Each of us counted on our fellow Literary Spirits to define us, and what follows is who we are (in alphabetical order, because that's how I roll, yo):
Be Anne: Sophisticated, Fun, Spitfire/supportive, Successfully professional, Courageous
Be Carol: Honest (in actions and words), Earthiness/funny/grounded, Diligently dedicated, Mother (and not just to her own children), Thoughtful
Be Cora Lee: Accepting of others, Caretaker/problem solver, Teacher/clarity of expression, Perceptive, Leader/Amazing
Be Cory: Wise, Beautiful, Soul-blossoming rose, Perceptive, Risk-taking/adventurous
Be Jackie: Wickedly funny, Controlled, Intelligent, Loyal, Fierce sense of integrity
Be Sally: Adventurous, Serene, Sister/problem solver/caretaker, Deep pool, Family/fun/great big spirit
Be Stacey: Gorgeous, Good, Mature/intergenerational relationships, Motivated, Balanced, Professional
Yes, we did resort to a thesaurus!
Sally, sitting serenely. Beautiful!
It was definitely dark before the party broke up.
Hey! Why is Anne's gun pointing at Cory? And why is Jackie's arm serving as an antler for Sally? And why, for the love of all that's holy, is Cora Lee acting normal?
Our next meeting:
Jackie's House
