Secrets of Adulthood

I’m reading the Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin.  As part of her yearlong happiness project she created a list of Secrets to Adulthood.  Here is my list which combines my favorites from her list as well as several of my own:

·         The days are long but the years are short

·         What is fun for others may not be fun for you and vice versa

·         We all become our own doppelgangers (a version of our self that looks the same but has completely different behavior)

·         Sometimes it feels great to be super cheesy and cliché

·         Disney is just as much fun for adults (if not more fun)

·         Anticipating Fun/Happiness often exceeds the actual fun experienced during an event

·         Trying New Things Keeps Us from Getting Stuck in a Rut

·         Over Processing/ Over Thinking Things is a gift and a curse

·         Most people prefer thoughtful gifts to expensive ones

·         A hand written note will always feel more significant than a text/ email/ Facebook message

·         If you post something on the internet you forfeit your right to privacy for that information

·         Time spent doing something you love almost never feels like work
