Open Up - What brings you joy? For what are you grateful?

Dr Arch Hart this week described happiness as built on a 'tripod' of

  1. Satisfaction/contentment
  2. Joy/playfulness
  3. The right amount of the right kind of pleasure (based on nature and relationships)

In addition, Arch said that happiness is a choice: we can choose to set realistic goals, be content, do kind acts to others, and to be grateful for what have.

I'm interested in what brings you happiness and joy. What are you most grateful for? Your family, children, friendships? The satisfaction of having completed difficult studies? Following a risky hunch you believed to be from God? Let me know.
