‘Success in life is the continued expansion of happiness.’
I have this quote framed, to the right of my computer as a reminder of how I want to live my life. I don’t remember where I found it, but it’s just really stuck with me. It’s my new goal to blog, once a week, something (big or small) that makes me happy.
Today I spent an hour of my day, Chai Latte in hand, browsing the aisles of Chapters. Looking for nothing in particular I wandered around guided by comforting ‘perfect-for-a-bookstore’ music. Flashy covers and funny names caught my attention. Some of my favourites: ‘Honey It’s All In The Shoes’, ‘How To Be A Hepburn In A Hilton World”, and a bright yellow book with just the words ‘CURIOUS?’ in big bold letters. I grabbed a copy of ‘The 100 best Volunteer Vacations” and sat cross-legged (yes, I was that person) on the floor reading about how to save the Mediterranean Monk Seal or grow organic vegetables in Italy.
This week I’ll keep it simple. To me, happiness is coffee at the bookstore on a rainy thursday.
