What is happiness? People define it in different ways, but most people agree that it involves feelings of joy, contentment, and satisfaction. That means different things for different people. For me, happiness currently means: coffee, kdramas, kids, and books. For a lot of people in Massachusetts, this time of year it’s: Fall, football, apple picking, and Halloween.
There are definitely a lot of things to be happy about. According to a new study, if you live in Massachusetts, you live in the happiest state! Massachusetts also made some other best and worst lists as well. Check out some lists about: work quit rates, amount of sleep, exercise enthusiasts, and more.
