Every Day is a New Day

So I have finally started a blog.  I have been thinking about it for a while, and now I am going to give it a go. 

Operation Happiness started out as a goal for the year.  Who needs to make happiness a goal you ask?  It is this girl.  I started the year determined to make this THE YEAR.  I was going to be happy if it killed me.  But, I didn't know where to start.  So I read books.  Lots of them.  I took self assessment tests (which incidently, do not lead me to happiness, but this is another post entirely), and signed up for all sorts of stuff.  It has been an exciting eight months, and I am going to share it.

What makes me happy?  It changes daily.  Like the weather in Chicago.  Today, the three things that make me happy are:

1) My red high heeled platform shoes.  I love them even if they hurt me.
2) A good run.
3) Clusterfluff ice cream.
