How happy are we? 😁

Are you feeling happy?

Most likely the answer is yes, according to a new Gallup Poll.

Nine out of ten Americans say they’re satisfied with their personal lives…the highest it’s ever been since polling began!

What’s more…two-thirds of us are very happy about where our lives are headed.

The British newspaper The Independent listed the top 10 happiest moments of any given day which include:

  • Waking up after a great night’s sleep
  • Eating a great dinner
  • The moment you sit down in front of the TV at night
  • Your boss showing you some appreciation
  • Getting home after work
  • Getting a compliment from someone
  • Getting a hug from your child
  • Having a late-night snack
  • The moment you take off your work clothes
  • The moment you take your shoes off after work

When are we happiest during the day? Around 3:25pm…perhaps when we’ve finally woken up and the end of the workday is nigh!
