Remarkable Read


Gretchin Rubin is a author who is tracing her one year quest to conquer happiness in a blog called The Happiness Project.  I check in everyonce in a while to see what tidbits she has for the day.  Her look at Happiness is very academic.  She really tries to explore the past, to build upon the findings of past thinkers, philosophers, and experts.  Today's article is about the Desiderata; a book, written in 1927 by Max Ehrmann.  Essentially, it is the 18 Commandments for happiness.  They are all insightful, but I found #13 to be the most relevant for me today..."Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself."  Thanks Gretchin.
