Following our goal, I found the following web page on which we can learn about the excellent results of feeling gratitude; not only in our souls, but also in our bodies. http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/expandinggratitude/ Check it out and let's start feeling gratitude.

Our purpose in this New Year is to learn how to be happy. For this purpose I propose the Positive Psychology Theory. The following is the iformation on the web page: Positive Psychology is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive. The Positive Psychology Center promotes research, training, education, and the dissemination of Positive Psychology. This field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play. Positive Psychology has three central concerns: positive emotions, positive individual traits, and positive institutions. Understanding positive emotions entails the study of contentment with the past, happiness in the present, and hope for the future. Understanding positive individual traits consists of the study of the strengths and virtues, such as the capacity for love and work, courage, compassion, resilience, creativity, curiosity, integrity, self-knowledge, moderation, self-control, and wisdom. Understanding positive institutions entails the study of the strengths that foster better communities, such as justice, responsibility, civility, parenting, nurturance, work ethic, leadership, teamwork, purpose, and tolerance. Some of the goals of Positive Psychology are to build a science that supports: Families and schools that allow children to flourish Workplaces that foster satisfaction and high productivity Communities that encourage civic engagement Therapists who identify and nurture their patients' strengths The teaching of Positive Psychology Dissemination of Positive Psychology interventions in organizations & communities The link is : http://www.ppc.sas.upenn.edu/ Here you can find wonderful information that will help you achieve happiness.

Bob Dylan's Dream While riding on a train goin’ west I fell asleep for to take my rest I dreamed a dream that made me sad Concerning myself and the first few friends I had With half-damp eyes I stared to the room Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon Where we together weathered many a storm Laughin’ and singin’ till the early hours of the morn By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung Our words were told, our songs were sung Where we longed for nothin’ and were quite satisfied Talkin’ and a-jokin’ about the world outside With haunted hearts through the heat and cold We never thought we could ever get old We thought we could sit forever in fun But our chances really was a million to one As easy it was to tell black from white

We are about to start Christmas vacation; nevertheless Laneduc Insitute continues working. Teaching can hardly be consider a job. It is in fact a fantastic adventure. Let's learn about the history of Christmas. Do not forget to read "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. It is an amazing story which teaches us about the true meaning of Christmas.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN by: Robert Frost (1874-1963) TwO roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. "The Road Not Taken" is reprinted from Mountain Interval. Robert Frost. New York: Henry Holt, 1921. http://www.poetry-archive.com/f/the_road_not_taken.html
