I read the other day that happiness is all about quantity, not quality. Even a lottery winner's extreme state of euphoric happiness is short lived and then they will adjust to their new situation and be just as happy as they were before their win. In other words, the key to being more happy is to do lots of little things that make you a little bit happy, all the time. You're probably wondering what this has to do with glass jars in a cupboard....well it's one of those things. Neil's been going on about having all his spices on display and easy to get to for...pretty much for ever. So he went to ikea and spent a small fortune on glass jars. Then I, being the highly creative person that I am ;) came up with the bright idea of painting them with blackboard paint and labelling them with chalk. We nearly gassed oursleves with the fumes from the paint and had a few spills and minor problems adjusting our painting and masking techniques but now when I look in this cupboard I'm a little bit happy :) and Neil is very happy!!
