Happiness continued...

As a follow up to my last post, I've just seen this news story which claims that Australia is the third happiest place on Earth. How about that?
It seems that Latin American countries have claimed nine out of the ten top spots for living happily. There's no mention of gorgeous Latin lovers, but they must play a role, surely?

My happiest place so far is my backyard and in the library. Though I wouldn't mind vacationing to any of those 10 places to see what makes them happier. :)

Ah yes... I know what you mean, Mandy. So many happy memories of family barbecues in our backyard. As for the library... I've always found walking into a library makes me instantly happy and at peace with the world.
