This event will take place...rain or shine. We'll meet in the pavillion for some treats and then celebrate by hanging out, telling stories, laughing, eating and maybe even some geocaching!
Noon - 1pm
Please log your "Will Attend" so I can make sure I have enough food for everyone. The menu will be dictated by the weather so watch for an announcement a few days before. Please bring your friends and even family! The more the merrier!
The International Day of Happiness was introduced by the General Assembly of the United Nations during 2012 and was celebrated for the first time in 2013. Through seminars and educational tips and tools, the aim is to educate and increase public awareness of the benefits of happiness.
The original idea came from the Kingdom of Bhutan in the Himalayan region of Asia. There, the population is thought by many to be among the happiest in the world due to the holistic approach to life and the amount of importance which is placed on the well being of people and communities, as much as material wealth.
For everyone, the day is a useful reminder that in general happiness does not necessarily come from buying and consuming, or from being famous or glamorous – but often from friends, family and emotional well being. Internationally, there are many events and websites in which people may participate.
Do what makes you happy.
Smile, share, eat healthily, exercise, be grateful, give back, think positively, spend some time with friends and family, spend some time alone, be mindful, dream, listen to music, say thank you and mean it, compete, be charitable, say “all the more” instead of “nonetheless” – you get it.
Celebrate the International Day of Happiness
