My grandson has a Happy Book. It contains pictures he’s drawn or pasted in about enjoyable things in his life. These can be events and objects that make him happy.
Whenever he’s feeling discouraged, he’s to get the book out and look through it.
Why don’t we all create Happy Books? We can do them as a family or individually. They could be a fun family project. They're also an enjoyable activity for Grandma and her grandchildren.
These can be any size, from large albums to small 4 x 4-inch albums or scrapbooks we carry
with us. You can simply place photos and pictures from magazines in them. Or you can use scrapbooking techniques.
The Happy Book might revolve around one topic. Or it can be a mix of things you enjoy and make you feel happy.
*Poetry, inspirational and humorous sayings
*Pictures of enjoyable memories and experiences
*Pictures of dreams you hope to achieve
*Pictures of trips you’d like to take
*Places you’ve visited
Once you begin using your imagination, the ideas are limitless…and just the process of putting these together start you on the Road to Happy!
