Do you have memoribilia that you have saved somewhere in a junk drawer or tucked away in a file in the closet? I do! I have Nate's and my first Nuggets game tickets, our first putt-putt golf score card, a chinese fortune. In The Happiness Project book, Gretchen used to make books called blank books when she was a child. It's something she enjoyed during her free time. Usually what we do during our free time is a good indicator of what gives us pleasure. The books were filled with anything that really caught her eye; picture in a magazine, a quote, a memory. She would spend hours cutting and pasting and creating her blank books. Sound like fun?
It was fun starting my blank book. It made me happy looking back on memoribilia I had saved. Plus, I now have a place to put this stuff so it cleared the area I was storing it and now it's in the blank book. I just used a 3 ring notebook, nothing fancy.
Here are some pics from my blank book:
Extra: In my Self magazine they have a list of thing that make people happy: Exercise, eat healthy, good self-image (regardless of size), appreciate your flaws, good sex, notice your small accomplishments, good advice!
