Perception is Key

I spend too much time posting on message boards and not enough time blogging. A fellow blogger recently added me to her links list so now I feel like I should blog something profound so here goes.

In a recent bulletin board conversation about measuring happiness, I wrote this:

I know now that my happiness is not determined by where I reside. It is, however, directly related to my perception of where I am living. I am much more content living in Canada, after my sojourn in PV.

I am calmer, less stressed and more appreciative of the non-material things in life (friends, family, changes in weather, etc.). The fact that I had to live in Mexico to "learn" this lesson does not escape me.

Change is good. I know I get bored easily so it is important for me to give myself a good shake every once in a while and try something new. Currently, I am taking the second course in my Editing Certificate program. Next I might try tennis lessons.

What's new with you?
