The "Happiness Manifiesto" is the Quote of the Week. It was developed by a group of economists and psychologists in order to increase the happiness level of the townspeople of the UK town of Slough. I liked the concept so I thought I would share it with you. I might even give this a try myself! Enjoy!

The Happiness Manifesto
1. Get physical. Engage in half an hour of exercise three times a week
2. Count your blessings. At the end of each day, reflect on at least five things you are grateful for.
3. Talk time. Have an hour-long - uninterrupted - conversation with your partner or closest friend each week.
4. Plant something. Even if it's a window box or pot. And, you must keep it alive!
5. Cut your TV viewing by half.
6. Smile at and/or say hello to someone you don't know. At least once each day.
7. Phone a friend. Make contact with a friend or relation you have not talked to for a while and arrange to meet up.
8. Have a good laugh at least once a day.
9. Every day make sure you give yourself a treat. Take time to really enjoy this.
10. Daily kindness. Do an extra good turn for someone each day.

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...
Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street
Jimmy McHugh
From the Show: Lew Leslie's International Revue (1930)
