Happy Month

Now that the month is almost over, I just found out that August is "Happiness Happens Month," according to the Secret Society of Happy People.

A scientific study on PBS This Emotional Life said that 40% of what makes us happy is in our control. But maybe the real secret to being happy is not thinking about the other 60%?  There are some good tips in that study on how to be happier, but my favorite one is so simple and so hard: Act the way you want to feel.
