Positive Psychology

Here's my front door wreath. I purchased it from a Mennonite bake shop in Greenwood when Anne and I were buying a cake for either Mother or Dad years ago. I love the natural grapevines. .....Whee! It's still only 28 this morning at 7:45. Pleasantly surprised that the Yogatorium's insulation works really well - 54 in there with only one heater on the lowest setting last night following our yoga class. So, by 10:00 it will be plenty warm enough for this morning's class. Another new student - Sherill - came last night. I am very pleased with the number of new students that are attending classes. Had a record attendance at the church on Tuesday evening - 10, where five or six is the usual number...Yesterday was pretty much a stay-at-home writing research day rediscovering truths in Learned Optimism and Minding the Body, Mending the Mind. (Martin Seligman and Joan Borysenko). Margie (Friend from Kinsale, Ireland) mentioned Seligman's book Flourish in an email and, of course, I went to Amazon and ordered it immediately. The whole field of Positive Psychology fascinates me and Seligman is one of the proponents whose writings are a pleasure for me. And Joan's book is filled with useful information I use in my classes and in my own personal life. After a day inside studying, I'll go in for a circuit at the Y and a massage. Perhaps my writing brain will kick in again in full force for the weekend. Lisa, my coach, just sent back some of my recent writings with new ideas for me to try. - like writing a Strategic Plan as an example for the book. Timing couldn't be better...this is usually the time of year I rethink my life's plan and putting it on paper always ups the odds of my actually making it happen.
