This blog is inspired by a book of the same title where author Barbara Ann Kipfer has, over the past 50 years, compiled a list of all the things that have made her happy. These range from having goose bumps to writing a screenplay!
Everyone will have their own list of what makes them happy, whether it’s written down or stored in our memories, and all our lists will be different. I know that on my list will be children putting the squash bottle back where it belongs; the somewhat aloof cat actually choosing to sit on my lap; and the view down my garden. Each of these brings a smile to my face even as I sit here writing about them.
But show me a koala and happiness levels go through the ceiling. I cannot look at a koala without giggling inexplicably. There is no rational reason for this – they just make me laugh! As you can imagine, my sides were aching and tears streaming down my face by the end of the hour long programme ‘The Secret Life of Koalas’ (Channel 5, 5 Feb 2019)
Studies show that being happy doesn’t just make you feel better but also benefits your health. Healthline reports that being happy
My trick for trying to stay happy is to keep a picture of a koala close to hand (stored on my phone) – it’s guaranteed to bring a smile to my face whatever has happened.
