At the first round, I went in and created some broad categories about these contents and came up with "Could do ordinary things", "Getting things done or not", "How you are viewed", "Other (people, things), "Who I am", and "Strategies".
These are but some preliminary way of classification and might not have any real meaning after a few iterations. At the same time, this first round does allow me to filter out some stuffs as well as giving me a picture about the role of (un)happy, (un)happily, (un)happiness in both blogs.
Today or last night, I decided to look further at what I might have done, consciously or unconsciously to be happy.
I went and did some primarily coding on the 48 references from 43 source for "Strategy."
The purpose: Something still refrains me to speaking of contribution kinda blah blah blah and I can't fight this feeling that, once I start thinking along this line, the process might stall. Through out the entire time, I keep this in the back of my mind... understanding how I might have made myself feel happy might help me stay on the track of being happy.
The limitations: Things don't always work all the time. For instance, when you are depressed like a dog and feel so miserable that you would bring your disabled behind to church so as to call God a Sxdxstic Bxstxr, you might simply have to live through being unhappy temporarily and come back to do the happy thing later. Give yourself a break sometime. It is ok to be miserable if you are feeling really miserable... though don't let it go too long if possible and hopefully, one can always find something nice to do for oneself.
Following are some themes I came up so far.
Of course, some of them could simply fall under the umbrella of taking perspectives but... going out to eat now.. 8-O lol
I will apply them on the remaining references and sources later on.
