looking for happiness

i've been on a long journey.
i've been looking to find happiness.
i am beginning to realize it is not something you find.  it is a state of mind.
i want to change the way i think and become a happier person.

with all that said, today i will start documenting that journey.  i will keep track of what i do and write about my successes and times that i need to try harder (there will be no failures!).  

i'm using the 43 things website to set my goals.  i will make posts about my different goals, tell why they are goals, and report my progress.  i first started with 43 things at the end of april.  since then, i did 10 things on my list.  i want to try to go into the new year completing about half of what is on my list.

i invite wisdom, advice, and fellow travelers on this journey with me.  i believe it is possible to change my way of thinking and be a happier person.
