Are you Happy??

Shine on Yahoo ran an article today on the 9 Signs You're Happier Than You Think. Click here to read the entire article.

Well, I thought I would list the 9 signs and see where I fall. Let me know where you fall too.

1. You were a smiley student...Yep! I am a cheese-miester. In fact, I tried to do sexy, sultry senior photos (and weight loss photos last month) and I just don't have it in me. I can't not smile in a picture. I can't even do a small smile...it is has to be big mouthed, all teeth showing smile. If I don't do that, I end up looking mad.

2. You have a sister...Yep! I've got an older sister. Of course our relationship was rocky, but what siblings don't have rockiness.

3. You're not glued to the TV....Sorta. I love my TV, but I don't watch it every night. I usually play DVR catch up on the weekends.

4. You keep souvenirs on display...Yep! I love having my scrapbook albums and pictures of our fun times all over the house.

5. You make exercise a priority...Sorta. I didn't realize how much I do enjoy my walks until I haven't been able to do them this past month. Exercise is not priority 1 for me, but I definitely believe it is important.

6. You have a healthy love life...Yep! Tony and I do have a healthy love life but I can't really take credit for it. It is all Tony's doing, but I am obviously reaping the benefits...hehehe.

7. You hang out with happy people...Yep! No "Debbie Downers" at my party...okay, there are the occasional moments when we need to be serious or need to vent, but all in all I had out with people who have a positive outlook on life.

8. You stay warm with hot cocoa....Yep! Except my drink of choice is hot Chai Spiced Tea. There is nothing better on a cold morning.

9. You have two best friends...Yep! I have several amazing friends in my life, but I feel is important to have very close relationships that you can count on through thick and thin. I am not aiming to be popular...I am aiming to have a solid relationships. It isn't the quantity of people around that make me happy, it is the quality.

Read the article for more details on why this study pulls out these specific items. I would say I am definitely a happy person, even when it feels like the walls are crumbling in around me.
