**HAPPINESS PROJECT - APRIL**

Thoughts

I would agree with the happiness research that people get a mood boost from contact with others. Am I happier? yes and no what helps ... making resolutions setting realistic goals making small changes for the better adding more sources of fun... greater engagement in life through activities...i.e. movie in the afternoon, dinner/coffee with girlfriends

Important

"if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" ...this is true in my family and my family members know this as do the students in my class. It is important for me to be happy otherwise everyone will be miserable. also "you're only as happy as your least happy child"

Each member of a family picks up and reflects everyone else's emotions - but of course I could change no one's actions expects my own.
