For family caregivers of persons with chronic illnesses, the day can be too full of worries, laundry, hands-on care and... More > medications. It definitely can be an unhappy situation.

But, can it be a happier one?

In this workbook, we're setting out to find out: Can we increase happiness during a difficult time in life?

Each month, you'll set goals based on one word: Plan, Replace, Space, Join, Resolve, Let Go, Quiet, Teach, Learn, Rejoice, Save, Say. You can set one goal or more, but try to keep within three goals. You'll keep progress of how well you're doing with the goal(s) and reflect on what's going well. At the end of each month, we hope an effective action becomes a helpful habit.

Why not ask others to join you? Companionship on the journey helps you stay on your road to more happiness. Invite your friends, family members and support group members.
