Learning challenge: Happiness Jar

This is something I have been thinking about doing for a while, but never seem to remember. For this week, I am going to make a real effort to follow through on this because I think it will help this stressful time of the year. Also, I have been thinking about buying a 5 minute journal, which are centered around gratitude, happiness, and growth and I think this exercise will be a good way to know if they are worth it. I think that it is important to find happiness everyday, but we all get a little caught up in life and forget sometimes so hopefully this will help. The game plan is to do it right before I go to sleep and I have set up the jar and paper to make it as easy for me as possible.

I just decided to do nursing last August (hence the extra semester of undergrad to get my prereqs in) and so I am a little late to that game. I have always k...

Dealings of Gold

I was minding my own business one day, as I always do, and then I heard the saddest noise. It was a girl crying so I followed the sound to the castle. There I found the most beautiful woman. She told me of the predicament she found herself in. It seems that there was a misunderstanding between her and her mother.             It all began with a slip of a few words, which led her to believe she could eat the five pies her mother had just baked. It was a simple confusion, but of course, her mother was angry. To taunt her about the mistake she began to sing a song about it, but it also so happen that the king was walking by that day and heard the mother’s song. The mother was embarrassed that her daughter had been so thoughtless and ate all five pies, so when asked about the song, the mother said that it was about her daughter sewing five gold strings. The king was so impressed that he married the mother on the condit...
