  (tags: language, french)

On a daily basis, many of us find ourselves being pulled in multiple directions. Be it competing priorities or just too many tasks with not enough time to adequately complete any one of them. The more directions we get pulled in, the more we stretch ourselves thin. Just like pulling at silly putty.....

I have come to the conclusion that I am a happy person. It didn't take much work to come to that conclusion, after I spent some time determining a definition for happy so I could do an appropriate evaluation. Each one of us will have a different definition of the word happy, so I won't bore you with the details of mine.

That being said, what I do what to share are some of the things that I believe helped me achieve happiness. Of course this is not an exhaustive list, but it should at least give you a understanding of how to get pointed in the right direction.

My Top 10 Tips for a Happy Life

1. Learn to play a musical instrument.
2. Acquire a taste for warm soda and black coffee. This simplifies life on many different levels.
3. Combine all of your email addresses into just one.
4. Call or email someone once a week just to say hello.
5. Feel free to just let pieces of your past go.
6. Find the one person who makes you happy most of the time and smile because they are "the one".
7. Change is unavoidable. Embrace it on every level.
8. Sleep on really comfortable sheets. (At least 900 thread count)
9. Always be ready to alter your original plan. (See item 7 for justification)
10. Wear comfortable socks!
