March 20th might now be one of my favorite days of the year! I am hoping that many of you knew that today (March 20th) is celebrated as International Happiness Day. I know we should not need such a designation. That each day we should be happy. It is indeed true that happiness is intrinsic, it is in us, all the time, we just have to choose to “turn it on” and be happy. Alas, we know there are people who do not have happy days and maybe for them today can be a catalyst for being happy, for seizing the moment and making the most of our mindset….

They published for us the Ten Keys to Happier Living and I thought that they were great so I just list them here. I think it is a great outline for how we can affect our mindset and keep us feeling happy on our THPL journey. I for one am just happy because I found all of this positive energy relating to a topic that I feel needs more and more focus. Just be happy indeed…..
