Here are some links that have put wind in my sails lately:

* Thanks to my sister for this encouraging article: “Don’t Carpe Diem”.

* Thanks to a dear friend for pointing me in the direction of Women to Women, where I could take a free online assessment of my health and find some encouraging material about making more beneficial choices towards my well-being.

* And, thanks to Susan Cain for looking into us introverts and giving me some courage to be more, well, me.  I’ve added her book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking to my extensive 2012 reading list.
