Hi Friends!
Another month has gone by and it’s time for a Happiness Project update.
October’s focus was Love Better.
Did I Love Better? I hope so! There was a lot more hugging that’s for sure. And I tried really hard not to have unrealistic expectations of dear Hubby. Also, I was gone for almost a week with a work trip and that always makes both of us a bit mushy. We don’t like being apart for very long, so it was super nice to be back. He even picked me up at the airport and went inside and waited for me! Very romantic for me I think.
Gretchen’s next month is March: Launch a Blog and work on career and leisure issues
Strangely enough, I’ve done some of that in October. My goals this month are: Work on being a better blogger and blog reader!
My goals this month are:
Take daily steps to promote the book and blog communities – I feel like I should take more time to comment and read my favorite blogs. October was crazy busy so I’m happy to get back into my normal reading and commenting phase.
Avoid time wasters – I think this is hard for me when I’m trying to blog and I get distracted by the amazing things called Twitter and YouTube. Must stop that.
Find at least 5 new blogs and they do not have to be book related – I really like decorating or interior design blogs but I never get a chance to explore them as much as I wish!
Read Read Read! – I haven’t been reading as much as I’d like, mostly because I’m in a transitional period at work. ButI’d like to focus on the vast number of library books I have and physical review books this month. Because once I read them, I can give them back! The goal? 7 from this pile.
That said, I will be taking a brief break during November. I want to focus on the outreach aspect of blogging and that means I may not have time to post as many reviews.
But I am here! So stop by and say hi! There will be some fun giveaways happening this month too. Just maybe not as many review posts.

These all sound like great goals. It’s definitely hard to get your blog name out there and you have to kind of keep it up. But the time is worth it and you often end up interacting with lots of great people.
I’m just going to try to focus on that this month. I think a little goes a long way!
