happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I possess….

Or so Ken Dodd would have us believe, but how much time do we take to really acknowledge and celebrate this wonderful gift? And what do we mean by ‘happiness’ anyway?

Look into any newspaper or watch the television news and you might think that there is nothing to be happy about. It seems as though each day brings with it some new piece of research telling us how miserable we are. Headliness such as “Stressed-out adults spend 36 minutes a day in despair” (Daily Mail, 1st June 2011) and “Six in ten of us have faced mental issues such as stress or depression” (Metro, 7th March 2010) leap out at us as we eat our breakfasts, suggesting that happiness is far from the ‘norm’.
