Our sparkling blog sister Janice Taylor writes the Our Lady of Weight Loss blog, and if you are a loyal reader (which you should totally be!), you know that she preaches the gospel of filling your life with happiness, not empty calories and meaningless filler.  A wise and uplifting message indeed.

Today, I’m proud to announce that she has a new gallery on Beliefnet, 21 Simple Ways to Be Happy.  Here are some of the fun, easy tips she offers–note that none of these requires you to change your schedule, quit your job, buy anything, or do anything radical whatsoever.  The idea is that happiness is a choice that each one of us can make.  What will you choose today?

Janice Taylor’s Simple Ways to Be Happy

1.  Sing out loud!
2.  Expect miracles
3.  Laugh at your shortcomings
4.  Wake up early
