As someone who writes online, met her husband online, and like most other people, shop online, I can tell you that having a few sites you like can be a real lifesaver. At holidays, ordering a few hard to find gifts online can save countless hours running around to stores.

One article lists Pronto.com, TripAdvisor.com, and UrbanDictionary.com among favorites to try. Each of these can either save you money or time, or in some cases simply just entertain you. One of my faves is Amazon. I’m always on the lookout for certain historical novels that I have a hard time finding in regular bookstores, and that site is a good resource for me.

What about you? Got a favorite site that saves you time and money?

What’s Your Favorite Website?

Everyone will have a different answer. Sometimes, I will say that my key to happiness is to not feel alone – because when I feel that way, it is when I feel the most lost in the abyss, and when I am surrounded by love – be it platonic or romantic – do I feel happy.

I have friends who find happiness in material wealth. Some find happiness of food, or sex, or something entirely different.

My puppies? A good greenie.

Researchers at the University of Rochester, NY recently researched this subject, and discovered that for many, money, looks, and even fame, don’t actually create happiness. The study showed that the acquisition of external goals not only didn’t bring about the sense of happiness expected, but in many cases actually brought unhappiness. Students who achieved internally focused goals such as personal growth and strong relationships were significantly happier.

This makes a lot of sense, and actually gives us something to think about. So, I ask you – what is the key to your own personal happiness?
