It’s another article written to me: Jill, you envying fool! Well, OK, not really, but here’s another one that applies to what I sometimes feel is my pretty pathetic psyche. Envy does you no good.
Yes, I have a problem with envy. There are days where nothing is working–people can travel more, do more, be more, [...]

Wrapping Up Issue Two
Posted in Happiness, Reactions, Vol. 1 Iss. 2, What Jill Knows For Sure, What Oprah Knows For Sure, tagged Happiness, oprah, Reactions, Vol. 1 Iss. 2 on March 7, 2008 | No Comments »
A good chunk of the rest of Issue Two is devoted to helping yourself in other ways. There are articles about manicures, eye surgery, drinking enough water, getting fit, sleeping more, that sort of thing. Hillary Clinton weighs in on her favorite books. Jane Fonda talks about the disease to please in [...]
Getting to Happy

Boy, this issue is jam-packed with articles to blog about. I’m skipping over a lot, but I have to wonder, are they all going to be like this? And just how messed up am I, really? But there’s an article about getting to happiness that I need to try. I’m actually [...]
Just Say No

A couple of articles after the big happiness questions, there’s an article about curing yourself of the disease to please. I suppose one might diagnose me with that, but here’s the twist: I’ve been working on this one for a while.
The “disease to please” is mostly a women’s issue, I think. We’re [...]
Spending Time Alone Is Not That Difficult!
Posted in Happiness, Vol. 1 Iss. 2, tagged Happiness, Vol. 1 Iss. 2 on March 5, 2008 | No Comments »
There’s an article in Vol. 1, Iss. 2 that tries to explain why you must have some “alone time.” As someone who’s had plenty of “me time,” I never understand the people who can’t be alone. It’s not that difficult to go to the movies by yourself, so get over it!
The Boy is the opposite [...]
Experience Pain to Get to Happiness

Ugh. The question page is here again. I still have no desire to face my feelings and work toward a better life. I kind of wonder if that will change as time goes on. Anyway, I’ll give it a shot.
Recall a time when you felt an intense emotion, such as anger [...]
True Happiness, Oprah Style
Posted in Happiness, Vol. 1 Iss. 1, What Oprah Knows For Sure, tagged Happiness, oprah, Vol. 1 Iss. 1 on February 22, 2008 | No Comments »
The first issue (and I presume every other issue) ends with a little Oprah-authored essay called “What I Know For Sure.” She likes this phrase–I think being sure about things is a big deal for a lot of people. It gives you a bit of extra confidence.
In this essay, Oprah talks about happiness, and that [...]
