If you've ever been to Disneyland or even ever heard of it, you've probably heard that it's known as the "happiest place on earth". Well, have you ever wondered where the happiest people really live? Have you ever wondered what truly makes people happy? Well, I read this article featured today on the front of my Yahoo! and I think you may enjoy reading it as well.
The article is called the World's Happiest Places and "the report looked at subjective well-being, defined as life satisfaction. Did people feel like their lives were dominated by positive experiences and feelings, or negative ones?"
Also taken from the article:
"Some sample questions: Did you enjoy something you did yesterday? Were you proud of something you did yesterday? Did you learn something yesterday? Were you treated with respect yesterday? In each country, a representative sample of no more than 1,000 people, age 15 or older, were surveyed."
Well, I will let you read the article for yourself, but have you asked yourself these questions lately? Have you EVER asked yourself these questions? Are you happy?
Just something to think about. I know it has me thinking. Take care and be happy!

great read.
To answer these questions:
Did you enjoy something you did yesterday? yes, I played in the kiddie pool, and got a tan. Later miguel even joined us. It was so fun!
Were you proud of something you did yesterday? yes, I made a wonderful chicken dinner. I ran out of some of my seasoning so I had to get creative. It was so good!!
Did you learn something yesterday? I usally leanr something on a daily basis, whether it is from my Bible reading or something I read else where. yesterday I learned that "It is good to reflect on the past in order to Praise God today"
Were you treated with respect yesterday? Yes, of course. My dh respects me and so do my kids. It's just not always consistent LOL
Woo hoo, I live in #6 :) Must think of all the questions but given that yesterday was Mother's Day, I'd say it was lovely: a day to be proud of, to learn from, and I was treated with tons of respect. Let's make every day Mother's Day, eh?
