I just read an article about the happiest countries in the world, and it is interesting to see why people in one country feel happier than others. It's not surprising in some respects, but as a parent it is a good reminder of how to raise happier children. And we all want our children to be "happy!"
Teamwork, focusing on others, less competition, less me, me, me--- these are some of things that help people to feel happy. Not a new concept, but one that we forget in the craziness of life. I'm going to think about ways to plug some of this into my house. I feel happier just thinking picturing it!
