The Pursuit of Happyness

Sunday, February 27, 2011 by Deidre Romeo
Today was an exhausting Saturday which included the open house of a friend’s Tae Kwon Do studio and a birthday party of another friend.  I came home, collapsed on the sofa and turned on the TV to sit back and relax for the evening.  WCVB was showing The Pursuit of Happyness; what a great, inspirational movie.  The movie was based on the real-life experiences of Chris Gardner.  Mr. Gardner began his pursuit of “happyness” as an unpaid intern at Dean Witter.  I began mine as a student at Granite State College, enrolling in adult college classes.  I was never homeless and have yet to make it to the status of a “millionaire” so it is doubtful  a movie will be made of my personal pursuit but nonetheless, I have achieved my own “happyness” through my academic accomplishments.  

What are you pursuing?  What changes are needed to find your own personal “happyness?”
