INTERNATIONA DAY OF HAPPINESS

 Maureen Mennor Nwaezeigwe

So am late in writing about this because it happened yesterday 20 March. 

Truth is I never knew a day was set aside as the international day of happiness. Interesting, right? I learnt that the essence of the day is to raise awareness  on the value of happiness in one's life and the overall impact it can have on a person's well-being.

As you may have guessed...if you are new to the date as I am, it is the the brain child of the United Nations. The first of it was celebrated in 2013.  I do not wish to get into all the details.

                                            Farrel Williams...the Happiness song

Lets talk happiness. What makes you happy...what are the things that make you smile or laugh? That make you feel really good inside your heart?

Family, friends, good food, drinks, sex, money, your job, your faith, knowing that you are healthy, relationships etc. 

Are you happy...truly happy? 

If not why? What or who has taken away your happiness?

I took the time to list possible reasons for happiness, to give a list that would remind you that you should be happy. If you do not have everything on that list, it is impossible that you do not have any of the things on that list...totally impossible.

So what is it or are they that make you happy?

Lets chat shall we.

Please share! I guarantee you will be happy you did. Lol. I just gave you another reason.
