There are some very interesting investigations being done into what makes people happy. The longest running study of happiness (the Harvard Study of Adult Development - adultdevelopmentstudy.org) began in 1938 with researchers following participants for 85 years (so far) as they try to find out what makes us happy. And here's what they've discovered: it's not power, or money, or things, that make us happy, it is fulfilling relationships. It turns out that "Positive relationships are the essential ingredient to happy lives".
And so, my fellow walkers, no matter what the weather is when we walk - cold, wet, sunny or dark, when I walk with you, I am one happy gal.
