Are you happy?

It got me thinking...they keep telling us that things are getting better, we are feeling more confident about the economy and life in general-and it makes me wonder-what is making us feel better? Is it really as simple as pizza?

Here in the Northwest, if the sun is out we are practically delirious with joy! It does not take much to affect our moods. The arrival of spring brings hope and potential, and often that is all you need to bouy yourself through tough times. It can even determine the success of your day.

What about when everything seems bleak? What makes a person facing a crisis, hold their head up, get through it, and dare I say, even be happy?

I saw an article this morning that got me thinking and I wanted to share. Is happiness a choice? Do you make that choice?  (via CNN)
