Fridays With Joe - Week 13

This week I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Tal Ben-Shahar, Havard’s Professor of Happiness.  I know sometimes that whole “don’t worry be happy…think positive” thing can come across as cheesy, but I think there is something to be said for making a choice to take control of your attitude and making a decision to control yourself and not be controlled by the circumstances you face.  To me that’s what Ben-Shahar is really talking about.  I love the concepts he talks about in his Six Happiness Tips and I encourage you to look at them and see how you can apply them to your life.

I’m starting today with an idea from Tip 2 where he talks about engaging in enjoyable activities;  I’m heading out with my family for a few days of fun and relaxing at a beautiful lake over in Eastern Washington (that is the lake in the picture above).  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend as well!
