Pamela Johnson, the creator of the on-line “Secret Society of Happy People” has written that there is one thing she knows for certain about happiness - that our happiest memories are the ones we get from relationships. She is right! We don’t get warm fuzzy feelings remembering the hours we spent at work, or awards we have received, or things we have bought. We do not get teary-eyed remembering how clean our house was or how well we did a project. Our most poignant memories are of meaningful time we have spent with people who like or love. Those are the memories which make us smile the most and which make us happy. Spending time with family or friends creates pleasing feelings and in turn, joyful memories. Meeting new people through volunteer work, travel or taking a class makes us happy and when we think back on those moments, we remember them with joy. The more people in your life you love and who love you back, the more laughs and fun you have, the more happiness you’ll have – now and when you look back on the moment. Being happy and creating blissful memories . . . it’s a good thing!
