What is Happiness?
We talk a lot about happiness all dressed up and pretty. But what does it look like when it’s standing in nothing but its birthday suit?
As I’ve studied and practiced, researched and questioned, written and talked with people about happiness, I’ve become increasingly convinced that many of us define the term in very different ways.
This is no unimportant matter either. Because some of us understand happiness so differently, we can easily misunderstand what it takes to get more of it. And so we’re often found groping in the dark for something that was never put where we’re groping for it in the first place…

They needed this work to keep the young productively engaged and to allow them opportunities for spotting suitable mates. Wonderful lesson.

Some birthday suits would certainly make us laugh out loud, not too sure if happy laughs.
Tee! Hee!
Hahahahaha Lindy, that was so funny. Certainly, there is so much to laugh about in birthday suits 🙂
