Short And Sweet

The Smiley Face by Amy Gwen About a year and a half ago, I started experimenting with the Aside feature of WordPress, and thought it was neat. While I didn’t like the way they lacked titles, I did like how they were supposed to be concise and to the point.

What came out of it for me was a growing series of posts entitled "Happiness". These posts started as Asides, mainly from a point in my consulting career where I was a little disillusioned as to the amount of success I was having at the time. Which is to say: "not much".

I started using these posts as inspiration, to point out to myself what made me happy at that moment in time. In the beginning, I truly just picked the first happy thought that passed through my mind and posted it.

Since then, I’ve done much the same thing, though from time to time, I do struggle with a "good one". I don’t like to repeat myself, though I know I do. Also, I’ve tried to be inspirational to others when the muse strikes. I succeed in that maybe 20% of the time I think. My real inspiration to continue these posts is that they continually reward me, and that’s all it needs to do at any rate.

So I hope this helps answer questions as to why I post "Happiness".

Oh, and you can get the "Happiness" RSS Feed here!

I *LOVE* your Happiness posts. You do reach your goal of inspiration, much more often than you think. It’s also a little window into what you are pondering at that moment. I’m glad you share them with us.

I sure appreciate all the encouragement you and Jon have shared with me on those posts. It means a lot. I’ll continue to post ‘em, I actually really like re-discovering them myself months later.
