Happy Food?
Generally, it’s probably not a good idea to try to find happiness in eating. Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t enjoy your meal. But many of us use food to make ourselves feel better when we’re sad or having a bad day. A little bit of that indulgence is okay, but it really becomes a […]
Are You Happy At Work?
If you work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, you spend just a little more than a quarter of each week at work. Even more when you add in the time it takes you getting ready for work and getting to and from your job. If you take work home you may be […]
Happy New Year

Always Expect Happiness
My wife and I were out driving through the countryside yesterday afternoon and I spotted a sign near a railroad track that said “Always Expect a Train” which is very good advice.
