Happiness is An Abundant Reward

Want to Be Happy?  May Be Better to Give than Receive.

Now that feeling of blessing when we give is being measured.  What a 2009 study reveals is that happier people are givers.  And that giving makes people happy.  So this is one vicious circle worth joining.

Giving does not just mean money.  Does not just mean to charity.  Opening a door, assisting a stranger and giving time to make someone else's life easier all help us become happier people.

Be Happy

Happy is a National Hit.  The song that is.

What makes you happy?  Here was my list for the day:

Snow shoe for an hour.

Bake cuz I want to try a new recipe.

Have friends over for dinner – cuz I can.

Play with the little girls cuz I want to.

This is life.

Happiness factor in the paper today…there is a Happiness Paradigm store in Maple Corners, Vermont.  How cool.  Being happy is again becoming important.
