I’m excited about today’s 10 Things That Make Me Happy list! We’re getting a double dose of happy since it’s by Gretchen Rubin from The Happiness Project. :) If you’re unfamiliar with Gretchen, she’s a bestselling author who decided to document her quest to find more happiness in her life. I’ve been reading along on her blog for a few years now, so I’m looking forward to her new book The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun (December 2009). So without further ado, here are 10 things that make Gretchen happy.
