The Happiness Formula

This year's happiest day is today, June 17.

A British psychologist devised an equation to determine which day of the year is the happiest.

The mathematical formula takes into consideration factors such as being outdoors (O); nature (N); social interaction (S); childhood positive memories (Cpm); temperature (T); and excitement about vacations, which he defines as “holiday expected” (He).

I don't know who he's talking about - its raining here, the temperature is shivery (S), nature is damp (D) and won't be getting a visit today, a holiday is hoped for, but not perhaps till 2012....(HH)

However I'm very happy, its Friday; a no homework day for the kids... it doesn't take much does it? The formula for my happy weekend is: Woodland Walk (WW) Sleep-In On Sunday (SS) Write Short Story (WSS) Eat All Round Me (EARM) & if I'm lucky, the Big (B)- Beat 8 year old son at cards... :)

Happy Friday. Hope your formula gets filled! :)


The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure for it is occupation.
George Bernard Shaw
