What makes you smile, even on tough days?
I learned to look for simple pleasures in everyday routines. It really does focus your attention on what matters most.

First of all I got this on audible and Derrens voice is just perfect for an audio book!
I found this engaging and nothing like I thought it would be
He talks about philosophy, religion, stoicism and the law of attraction and picks them apart
There‘s an interesting part about why constant positive thinking is damaging and places blame on the victim
It was a really great listen and would definitely recommend
My 2021 word is ...... Happy
I spent so much of last year stressed over everything. This year, I want to decompress and focus back on the good things in my life and stop worrying about everything else. I want to be happy and hopeful again.
What's your word? @LibrarianJen @Tawnya-T

Happy Birthday @AsYouWish !!! Hope you get lots of lovely wishes from your friends & family and you get to do “as you wish!” #LitsyLoveCrew #LitsyBirthdayWishes
Wonderful, challenging read. I've found Derrren Brown's writing an absolute joy to read in the past and this deep dive into stoicism is no different. In other hands this could be a dry read but it was an a complete pleasure from start to finish.
Look how happy it's made Bella 😂
Think this was my April #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks!

2. I haven't really finished anything but am in the middle of 2. Favourite so far would Happy by Derrren Brown
3. Not sure I have a preference. Maybe around 400-500 mark, but happy to go longer for non fiction or a really good read.

Very much enjoying this book so far and nice to be reading, albeit sporadically, again.
I'm walking on cloud nine. On Monday, my library will offer curbside service. I'm grateful for my Kindle, but I can now order books that I need and don't want to purchase or can't find. Happy Mother's Day to me.
Hoping this can get me back into the flow of things. I think this may be April's #bookspin selection! I've heard mixed things, so let's see what it brings. That being said, I'm generally a fan of Derren Brown's writing so I've got my fingers crossed for this one
#nonfiction.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
Joyous Wednesday!
Whatever it is for you, have a wonderful day!
This was surprisingly excellent!
I think the cover is ironic. This book looks at lots of different philosophies and religions and deconstructs them in a respectful way. It has a similar vibe to Sapiens, but unlike Sapiens, Happy seems to have flown under the radar.
I definitely recommend.
The happiness I got from opening my mailbox can be compared to when a baby elephant first discovers it‘s trunk — pure delight!!! Can‘t wait to read everyone‘s letters and write back!! @jillannjohn - I had “coffee with you” this morning and already have your letter in the mail 😃

#Litsylove 💌 Thank you for brightening my day @Bookwormjillk @aroc and @WeeziesBooks ! I‘m rolling out of my blanket burrito to do a happy dance ✨
According to science this is the happiest song

So on what is known as Blue Monday, shake it off, sing at the top of your voice, dance around the room and generally feel happy because you are wonderful and beautiful.
Have a great Monday Littens 😁

Day 5 Happiness
...family, friends, reading, music, baking, holidays, being outdoors...
This is what happiness is to me 😊

I‘m working on some CEUs (marriage and family therapists are required to do these 😛!) at the dining room table right now but I like my view so it‘s okay 👌🏻.
Derren Brown, always so eloquent, even on social media. This bookshop sounds completely arousing though.
I may go home tomorrow for my #rehab-minibreak. 🎉🎉🎉
I'm not supposed to have any stress - we'll see how that works out. 😉
Good thing is, I can not only see my kids and my cats, and do the laundry, but I can also decide which book I'm going to read next.
I got a couple postcards from @BookwormAHN and @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks . Thank you ladies! I‘m really loving our exchanges! What a wonderful idea @Kaye ! It‘s so lovely getting happy surprises in the mailbox! 💜📚
Day 17: HAPPY
Today was busy but I‘m happy. Today is my Friday because tomorrow we are heading to Florida!!
#the100dayproject #100daysofwords #💯 #happy
Thanks for the #happytaxdaygiveaway @CareBear What makes me happiest are my husband and daughter, my 2 favorite people.
I don't know about you guys, but this weekend is much needed. I need to recharge 📚
Words can not EXPRESS how happy I am to get this today! I squealed out loud when I saw the tea ball and the signed copy of The Rules Of Magic! Thank you so so so much for being my fill-in Valentine, @MidnightBookGirl ! I love it all so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😍❤️🌈🎊🎉😘💕

I didn‘t get as far as I have in previous #24in48 , but I am pretty happy with how much reading I did get in. I completed 7 books. Most of them were children‘s book as I was also participating in the #throwbackreadathon . 🙂
Tip for me: Staying up late just made you sleep even later than normal, which made you less productive in all things. 😆
Y‘all I am overflowing with joy and gratitude! @Cinfhen found out that I never received my #halloweengoespostal parcel from another Litten and so she sent me a package a very long distance!! This is beyond generous. Words can‘t express how much it means to me!! Thank you so much Cindy! 💕💕 #ilovelitsy
Seems really small and silly but I wanted to reach 1000 litfluence before the end of the year and I did it!!
I love this community 😊😊😊
OMG! Thank you so much to my most generous #booktoteswap giver @DHill. You definitely spoiled me! Good thing the only thing I have on the agenda this weekend is reading! @cobwebmoth
I received my first order from Book Outlet and I have another on the way and may place another yet🤪 They have great deals, if you haven‘t yet you need to go check it out. All but two of these are gifts. My kids were given the Thanksgiving ones, two days late but oh well they will still enjoy them. #BookMail
I finally sent out my #bookmarkswap goodies to @MPick , @DebbieGrillo , and @LA_Mead . I hope they like them!
