If so...That explains a lot about my family. Seriously.<BR/><BR/>I love that you are finding more joy these days. That's a beautiful and encouraging thing to me knowing that you have lots of things that could get your down(health issues) but you choose not to let them.Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19314545.post-26887805797935039272008-01-13T15:44:00.000-06:002008-01-13T15:44:00.000-06:00this makes me think of M Scott Pecks books on comm...this makes me think of M Scott Pecks books on community and faith karen the Different Drum i think our own choices having such impact Im like missy i still am wrapping my self around alot of these areas seeking to grow asking God to help in prayer seems like a great beginning point karen hmmm lolRoberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137068859515196903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19314545.post-37259196712520702612008-01-12T19:14:00.000-06:002008-01-12T19:14:00.000-06:00I think I saw a bit of that one, too. I remember ...I think I saw a bit of that one, too. I remember the 40% and the idea of community being a large happiness factor. Cold Medicine stupor took the rest away. I think I am just starting some of those lessons, but I've watched many people who "shouldn't" have been happy make it happen. Friends - feeling understood and understanding others even for a small moment provides larger returns in happiness than anything I obtain or achieve.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638784910676212171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19314545.post-56039301980586234112008-01-12T18:54:00.000-06:002008-01-12T18:54:00.000-06:00Other nations happy?

Actually, the 20/20 article might have been based on the same survey as the article I quoted. The conclusion I liked best was that happiness is directly related to the number and quality of relationships in our lives. I don't think anything could be truer. <BR/><BR/>Great stuff on taking responsibility for and control of our happiness.
