Weekly Links: Allergy Edition

To everyone out there who suffers from allergies, I salute you. I never understood your suffering over a simple sniffle or watery eye. It seemed like much ado about… ragweed. But alas, the gods of schadenfreude have caught up to me, and I’m now a fellow allergy sufferer. I apologize for any lack of sympathy that may have been expressed up to this point and humbly beg your forgiveness.

Here are some other items that got under my skin and made me all aflutter this week:

I’ll start over at Get Rich Slowly, where J.D. has been churning out fascinating reads all week. I thoroughly enjoyed (and agreed with) The Myth of Multitasking: How Doing It All Gets Nothing Done, and found it highly relevant. My favorite, though, was The Psychology of Happiness: 13 Steps to a Better Life. If you missed this one, please go back and check it out.

Over at My Super-Charged Life, Jeff had a couple of gems as well. 5 Things Scuba Diving Taught Me About Living Life to the Fullest got me thinking about trying new things and what I’ve learned from my hobbies. In the nuts-and-bolts department, he also questioned the fairness of FICO scores.

Frugal Dad caught some great insights on frugal living from over 5,000 reader comments and Simple Mom gave me great ideas for awesome and cheap wall art.

Emily at Remodeling This Life kicked off a great discussion on What Motivates You, while The Wisdom Journal provided 20 Questions to Help You Overcome Barriers and Find Your Passion. I find both of these to be perfect for morning tea pondering time.

There were other great pieces going around, so if I missed one, drop me an email and let me know! Also, I usually keep track of potential items for my round-up through my Favorites on StumbleUpon, so if you find a great read, drop me a line there (I go by SimpleSara) and I’ll have a better chance of seeing it.
