It's refreshing to hear someone who is writing about happiness admit that it can be an elusive goal. I've been struggling with my own demons and trying to tame the ones that persistently lower my happiness factor. It's not easy...but I find myself making progress (although not quickly enough for an impatient person!). I've written some about what I've learned about the pursuit of happiness on my blog - www.betweenusgirls.info - for anyone who might be interested. I read Gretchen's blog regularly, and a few others that have a similar theme. It's reassuring to those of us pursuing happiness to hear about the triumphs and tribulations of those on the same path. Keep up the good work everybody! I can very much relate to the crabbiness and impatience – two things that certainly can come between a person and happines!

She calls herself an author first, then a wife and then a mother. Hmmm. Telling. Well, perhaps the author of this article calls her that. I take back what I said. Sorry so stupid. Carry on.

One of the best and most simple defenitions that I know about Happiness Is simply: <i> 'To be in 'a State of Mind' that makes you Feel that Life is Good'.</i> Like for example if you are in a State of 'Gratitude'. Indeed something 'to be'. All the Best, HP Gretchen’s video is a great reminder of the importance of being gratefull something that I think is also a great ‘gateway’ to Happiness. One of the best and most simple defenitions that I know about Happiness Is simply:

Thanks for sharing more of her insights, Alex. I’m a huge fan of Gretchen’s Happiness Project.
