About Anna’s Happiness Journal
This site started out as a journal of my gardening endeavours. Since I have become pregnant, the garden has become a much lower priority. First and foremost because of the risk of toxoplasmosis to pregnant women. The doctor says not to go digging in the dirt as result. I am still watering the areas of my earlier effort, but there is not much to tell.
Secondly, I have been thinking a long time about happiness. Not just the momentary and fleeting feeling of joy or delight, but the state of contented happiness despite the ordeals and trials of life. Happiness is so elusive to many people. I wanted to take the time to write about my own journey towards becoming a happy person. Not just someone who looks for fun, but someone who can hold onto the goodness of life despite what may come my way.
The site is now the place where I will try to share some of the lessons I’ve learned about maintaining happiness and will serve to remind me, and perhaps someone else, of how important it is to pursue happiness every day.
