On Being Happy: Lesson 1

Go to Oregon...

Or go anywhere really.  

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.  Dream.  Discover."

                 -Mark Twain

Complacency is easy.  It's odd cause being uncomplacent...incomplacent...being the opposite of complacent is easy too, and it is far, far superior.  

So for this first of my lessons for the world on how to be happy, I propose you do something original (for you, at least).  Go somewhere new, do something different, break up your routine!  This may not be an original thought, it may be rather obvious to many.  Yet for too many (myself included) it's a thought that is not exercised frequently enough.

Thusly, my challenge to all that read this is to fit in some small novelty at least once weekly.  You don't necessarily need to leave the state, though I find it can definitely help!

Bonne chance!

Visiting Short Sands Beach in Oswald State Park, OR was wonderful, and I highly recommend it!
