The other day I was walking back from the shop with one of my daughters and we talked about what makes us happy. Answer from a 9yr old: people being kind, having fun. Happiness. Some might say its over-rated. We live in a relatively negative culture in the UK. We can always miss the silver lining. The glass is often half empty.
So, as you pass by and read today, how about you leave a comment listing 2 or 3 things that make you feel happy. Lets celebrate the things which bring happiness and take time to reflect on the difference having a more positive outlook on life can make.
Thanks for your thoughts [He writes expectantly]
