3 Good Things - Write them down and Get Happy

In today's Sunday Trib Magazine I read an article by Nara Schoenberg titled Happiness, Meet Science. In it is a simple, scientifically proven way to get happier. Every night before bed, write down three things that happened during the day that made you feel good or grateful. Within weeks, you'll be measurably happier.

"The research here is pretty clear," says University of Michgan psychology professor Christopher Peterson. "People who do ("Three Good Things") on a regular basis get happier."

Okay, it seems easy enough. Here are three things that make me happy today (and it's only noon!)

1.  My usually intense hubby's goofy animal imitations. His moose is my favorite, but today he was a very silly bunny.
2. The sunshine and soaring temps. It's like summer today! 
3. A breakfast of chocolate cake, clementines and coffee in bed while reading the newspaper. Ahhh.

Gee, that took about 2 minutes - this is one habit I can keep up. And I'm feeling more cheerful already.

Got three things that made you feel good today? Go write 'em down. Or better yet, share them here and we'll get started together.
