When things are not quite right, and the feeling of happy seems to have evaded me, I will remind myself that I am in charge of my own happiness.  I begin to compose my grateful list of good things that have happened during the week.  Often this list is the start of my

Some of the items on my grateful list will typically have something to do with activities in which I participate.

In the famous words of Ferris Bueller,
