25 Choices that Lead to Happiness
Nancy Rothstein lost her son in a car accident when he was just 15 years old. Seeking to pay tribute to his life and spirit she created a beautiful list titled “Ways to Celebrate Life†to share with friends and family. Each year on what would have been Josh’s next birthday, she adds another item to the list. Josh would have turned 25 this year, a quarter-century marker that inspired his mother to once again turn her deep loss into an offering to the world. Recognizing that happiness is a choice, Nancy created a list of 25 daily and simple choices that lead to happiness. Her thoughts draw on themes of practicing generosity, embracing our interdependence, and living with kindness towards others as well as ourselves.
