Lifefull

I had really believed that I coined that term...that beautiful phrase, "Lifefull." Until I Googled it and had my reality checked. How about, "Lifeful." Awww....no, probably not. Well, maybe.

I am writing a persuasive essay for my Effective Writing class and the topic I chose was Science and Happiness. In researching it, I came across two poetically useful and well, lifefull blogs.

The first one is The Happiness Project. In particular I find her Gretchen Commandments so very good. I don't hold the same commandments for myself. But I will be adding my own version to the right-hand side of the screen soon. I also like the column in which she lists the theories on happiness that she rejects. Refreshing and it helps that I hold the same opinion of those theories.

The second one is 37 Days. If it is your first visit, click on the link in the upper left hand corner, "First Time Here?" as it will explain the idea behind it.

Now, I don't choke up easily as I take two very good medications that keep me from getting down with emotions and anxiety and such. But reading--the background of her blog, the idea behind it, her process with it--made my eyes well up and my nose start to sting in anticipation of a mucus onslaught. In addition, she is a writer. A dreamweaver of words. The type of writing that takes you so fast that you don't even realize that you left reading a few exits ago and are now feeling the words. Musical. Vibrant. And as I said, lifefull.

Enjoy.
Lifefully,
