Not only that, but constantly fighting your own thoughts might even turn into a source of misery!<br /><br />To Kerin: I agree that reading about this man's life in a few years would be interesting. Have you ever seen the "Up" documentary series (not related to the Pixar film)? While it wouldn't have to be that extensive, it is always interesting to watch people over time and see how their choices affect their lives--especially if they're doing experiments on themselves.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535194686956412201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054090493151835489.post-23258379022609407382010-11-23T16:00:04.611-08:002010-11-23T16:00:04.611-08:00I think the post project outcome will be really in...I think the post project outcome will be really interesting, if happiness is a state of mind, and he retrains his mind for twelve months intensively will he end up being a much happier human being in the years to follow?

And that is okay. I can tell from my personal thanksgiving experience that it is possible to think happy thoughts every day for a year, but there are times when you'd have to think them together with your less happy thoughts, which doesn't mean that you're an unhappy person. Of all things, this was the single most valuable lesson I learnt from my project. Hey, if someone's willing to sponsor my thankfulness I'm totally willing to do another thankful year. So yeah, drop me a line if you're interested ;-) :pJulia, the Thanksgiving Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542064466882299908noreply@blogger.com
