Happiness Is An Inside Job

Happiness is an inside job. Really? Here?s my backstory. When my grandkids turned six, I gave each of them what we called at ?Tree Book? ? a little book actually made of wood, which seemed appropriate because the idea was to have a place to record sayings and experiences that would help us grow, like tress do. It would contain tips, tidbits, and teachings that could help us when times were tough; help us to bounce back, to handle life?s challenges. My mom had given me a little booklet like that too, and while I confess that I didn?t look at it very often, I did register the idea that many of our strengths and resources are on the inside. My intent was to share that radical idea with my grandkids They?re not at a point yet where that really means much ? they are currently quite focussed on living their lives as teenagers or 20 somethings.
