Happiness is a choice we make every day. This morning as I was reading, 101 Small Pleasures you can Enjoy Every Day, I began to get that warm fuzzy feeling I get when curled up on a rainy winter day reading a good book. I noticed I was feeling happiness vicariously through someone else.
I have always been one to read things that lift one’s heart, mind, and sprit. When I was an undergraduate I enjoyed taking classes with Father Moore because he stressed the importance of what we put in our gnosis, or our bank of knowledge. In other words put good in, and good comes out.
I not saying only read those things that bring on the warm-fuzziness but do try to incorporate things that inspire you to be happy into your life. I have listed below five books that I have read within the last year that inspired me or made me feel happy. Enjoy!
