Amongst other Christmas presents I yesterday recieved a book about happiness. Not one of those hippie-bollox books about happiness, but a lovely, thoughtful book. One thing really stood out in the book, and that was the chapter about giving and taking:
There is a lot of happiness to be gained from giving.
But to constantly give will consume you heart and soul.
So learn to take a little -
a stroll in the garden, exhibitions and cafés.
Enjoy it.
Let birds, flowers, books,
art, music and generous friends
fill your reserves.
Humans need nourishment.
So true. And so therefore his week I will dedicate my time on me. On things I like and things I want to do. No musts. Will you join me?
