A Private History of Happiness ...Ninety-Nine Moments of Joy from Around the World - by George Myerson

A fresh compilation of collective moments from a variety of poets, authors, writers, philosophers, and legends from all around the world sharing their delight of happiness. Delve into this collection and experience moments of reflection on happiness. Find your happiness!
                                                                          ~  Wiesje Brion, Chief Editor of Mindful Magazine

What is happiness to you?
A hobby that gives you pleasure nothing else can offer. The sunshine, even as it peeks through the gloom of dark clouds. Exquisite art made to bring the natural beauty of a rainbow. A letter to a friend; Hans Christian Anderson.

Need a moment to see, feel, and explore where happiness can be found? 
As a writer and a lover of reading I find this collection inspiring and intriguing. My challenge to you is to explore your happiness. Journal it, and every time you need a moment of happiness you can remind yourself of your own moments of happiness. If you love to write, have a passion for poetry, or simply take note of your daily routine I encourage you to write a journal of thoughts as you never know where it can lead.
