		<description>Hello, dear sweet Kellie. 

Your post got me thinking. A woman with whom I&#039;ve long been collaborating, Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, is a positive psychologist for women who teaches us to take these happy moments, and with dedicated attentions, concatenate them into a &#039;positive state of being&#039; -- a.k.a. HAPPINESS.


Srange as it sounds, I am living proof that it works! After a year or so of concentrated, cultivating effort, I was truly happy! 

HAPPY became my Default State Of Being. 

Which got TEMPORARILY knocked off kilter by the bad behavior of my husband. 

Rather than the reverse -- Misery As Default State Of Being [which had been my default for over a decade].

Wishing you the same wondrous transformation,

Love, Martha</description>
