I thought that I had already posted this, but I discovered that I wrote it, and then saved it instead of publishing it. Oh well - here it is, a bit late...
I haven't blogged in a while about my happiness project, so I thought that I might do that. January's happiness project is very much in full swing, I just apparently forgot to post about it. January's focus is to "Study the Word" [ spiritual growth ]. This included reading the scriptures daily, memorizing scripture, and keeping a prayer/devotional journal. I have been following along with She Reads Truth as I have been for over a year now, but I also wanted to add another study for this month. I got "Open your Bible" by Amanda Bible Williams and Rachael Myers for Christmas, and I am enjoying this study. It is literally about diving into the word and why it is important to do it daily. This was a perfect study for this month's focus, and I am thankful that I chose to do it. I also have been working on memorizing scripture. I actually incorporated the goal of memorizing a scripture each week into my goals for 2016, so its not just a January Happiness Project goal.
I guess technically the point of the happiness project was to add a new focus each month, but to keep the old ones as well, although I haven't been keeping up with each focus area as much as I did during the month that it originated. I do find that I write/blog more than I did before November however. And I have decided to keep up with December's goal of documenting life into 2016, and plan on capturing as many moments on instagram as I can this year.
As far as the following months of my happiness project go, I am thinking about adding more to the project that I originally planned. I am not sure what this looks like yet exactly, or if it is practical with work, kids, etc. but I am at least interested in trying it out. I will post more about my thoughts on this later - probably when I discuss the happiness project for February, so stay tuned!
