The Happiness Project

Do the January Blah’s got you blue? Are you looking for some positive influences in your life? Do you make resolutions, then promptly break them? ”People always think that happiness is a faraway thing…something complicated and hard to get. Yet, what little things can make it up.” Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

Come join a positive group of fellow happiness-seekers at:

1:30 p.m.
Sunday, January 27
Menomonie Public Library meeting room

Together, we will set goals and cheer each other on as we achieve them. We’ll figure out what makes us happy, and get rid of the things that don’t (or, make them a lot more fun!). Based on the books, The Happiness Project and Happier at Home by Gretchen Rubin.

Intrigued but have questions? Call Heidi at 715-309-2118.
