One of the links on the right side of our blog is for The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. This is a fabulous site that I found not too long ago which I really recommend checking out, especially if you're having a crap day. I wanted to share the author's Secrets of Adulthood because I found them particularly wonderful. I've already posted them at my desk. Do yourself a favor and just take a minute to soak these up:
The days are long, but the years are short.
Someplace, keep an empty shelf.
Turning the computer on and off a few times often fixes a glitch.
It's okay to ask for help.
You can choose what you do; you can't choose what you LIKE to do.
Happiness doesn't always make you feel happy.
What you do EVERY DAY matters more than what you do ONCE IN A WHILE.
You don't have to be good at everything.
Soap and water removes most stains.
It's important to be nice to EVERYONE.
You know as much as most people.
Over-the-counter medicines are very effective.
Eat better, eat less, exercise more.
What's fun for other people may not be fun for you -- and vice versa.
People actually prefer that you buy wedding gifts off their registry.
Houseplants and photo albums are a lot of trouble.
If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough.
No deposit, no return.
