There’s a massive secret about how to be happy and back in the A to Z challenge I cracked it. But, out of the goodness of my heart, I shared that secret with my blog readers and one of those readers, Very Tessa Tangent, suggested to me that it could make a good Blog Meme. So here I am attempting to create my own meme and seeing if it goes off wildly and with a skip in it’s step, into the wilds of blogger land, or if it’s going to fall flat on it’s face. Me? I’m going to look away as it’s happening.
This was the original post.
How to be happy in 5 easy steps.
1. Drink tea.
2. Eat chocolate.
3. Do that thing you really want to do.
4. Love hard.
5. Stop and read a book.
And that was all there was to it for me.
My proposal for turning this into a meme is for me to forward it to 5 unsuspecting bloggers who will then link back to the originating host (Me) and then create their own 5 steps to happiness. When all Happy has been created, pass it on to the next 5 bloggers, who in turn have to link back to the blogger who bestowed said happy meme and originator. Lets see how far we can make this simple concept of happiness go.
To start, I’m passing The How to be Happy in 5 Easy Steps – The Meme to;
Sharon, YA Writer and Hobbit in Training
Annalisa at Wake up, Eat, Write, Sleep
and Very Tessa Tangent for suggesting it!
Lets see how much happy we can spread!
Oooooo, thanks honey! Could do with thinking about being happy 🙂

Thanks Patricia. It will be great to see if it does!
Happy playing rock god! Just not in front of a mirror, because then I realize I look ridiculous.
Ha! There’s something we all do that makes us look ridiculous Alex 🙂
Thanks for remembering to do a happy meme! I wouldn’t mind giving chocolate a whole blogpost to itself. *winks* Mine’ll be up soon. x
Of course I remembered, it was such a great idea! Thank you! x

You do know stuff about stuff. I have faith! Especially the happy 🙂
