Sunday Salon — January 5
Good morning! And, Happy New Year!
Time: // 9:33 am
The scene: // Snowfall. Pretty, if I don’t think about the need to shovel it off the driveway in frigid temperatures.
Listening to: // A Twelfth Night playlist on Spotify that I just made of the Epiphany sections of Bach’s Christmas Cantatas and Oratorio.
The Happiness Project is the Read Along book for The New Year’s Resolution Reading Challenge of 2014
Reading: // The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, the Read Along book for The New Year’s Resolution Reading Challenge. I sent out questions yesterday for our first discussion post on Wednesday. It’s a quick read and we’re taking the whole month, so there’s still plenty of time to join us.
Blogging about: // I’m celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas through Epiphany with book lists to support resolutions:
Day 1: Be More Fit
Day 2: Be Happier
Day 3: Be a Better Cook
Day 4: Be Smarter about Money
Day 5: Be More Purposeful and Get Things Done
Day 6: Be More Creative
Day 7: Be a Better Reader
Day 8: Be a Better Writer
Day 9: Be a Better Gardener
Day 10: Be a Better Photographer
Day 11, Be More Visual, will be later today.
After three weeks of bread pudding recipes, I posted my Master Recipe that makes it easy to make these up on the fly with any bread or other ingredients I have around. A great way for using up everything from fruit that’s just past its prime to leftover chicken soup (but not in the same bread pudding).
Participating in: // The New Year’s Resolution Reading Challenge.
Looking forward to: // The next Twitter chat for The New Year’s Resolution Reading Challenge – Wednesday night 9PM Eastern / 8 Central / 7 Mountain / 6 Pacific / 5 Alaskan / 4 Hawaiian. The hashtag is #WSchat. We had great fun on New Year’s Day so I’m looking forward to more chatting about books, goals, projects, and resolutions.
What are you up to this fine Sunday?
I enjoyed The Happiness Project…and read her next book, Happier at Home, which I think I enjoyed even more.
Have a great week! Here’s MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
I’m up to reading Sunday Salon posts mostly…right now I’m on yours.
My wife has The Happiness Project, I think, but she hasn’t read it yet. She is using the journal…well, sort of, she says in the background. Well, wait, yes, she says now. 
I’m still waiting for The Happiness Project from the library. It’s in transit so hopefully I’ll get it tomorrow, and get caught up by Wednesday.
I have read both Happiness Projects and loved them. They inspired me to do my own happiness project.
