I have that old song, I've got the joy joy joy down in my heart, in my head now that I have read this book. My wife passed away a little over a year ago, and in the last year I've gained a lot of weight, have not really seen my kids or grand kids and have basically not been a very happy person. The advice give by Barbara Steinhoff Schneider in this book is exactly what I have needed to cheer myself up. I volunteer at a homeless shelter a couple days a week, and being there is about the only time that I feel happy at all. Perhaps I should volunteer a couple more days! I never considered making a list to check my happiness, but now I'm thinking that I should probably do that and see how I can work on changing my outlook on some things and try to move forward and be happier. I'm going to call my son today and try to schedule a trip to see him and the kids this weekend. I would like to thank the author for the excellent suggestions she made in the book. This is really going to help me to get back to where I need to be!
