Happiness Day!
March
20 is International Day of
Happiness, According to Wikipedia.org, International Day of
Happiness is celebrated throughout the world on 20 March. It
was established by the United Nations General Assembly on 28 June 2012. Assembly
Resolution A/RES/66/281 states in pertinent part:
The General Assembly Conscious that the pursuit of happiness is a
fundamental human goal. Recognizing also the need for a more inclusive,
equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable
development, poverty eradication, happiness and the well-being of all peoples,
Decides to proclaim 20 March the
International Day of Happiness, Invites all Member States, organizations of the
United Nations system and other international and regional organizations, as
well as civil society, including non-governmental organizations and
individuals, to observe the International Day of Happiness in an appropriate

What a great way to start, spend and end your March 20th every year! We at SPPRAK like the idea
of happiness as much as we do the idea of kindness! Happy people are kind people.
Wonder why that is? There are probably many studies that prove this sort of
thing, but let’s face it we do not need a study, we all know that when we feel
better, when we feel loved, secure and happy we find it easier to be kind to
others. On March
20 this year we can all
add a little happiness to our lives and those of others. Fix breakfast for your
family as usual but instead of the usual fussing and hustling through it, try
winging the pop tarts as you whistle a little tune. Ok, maybe not the best suggestion
but there are ways to work happy into your normal day. The thing is you will
have the power on March 20 or any
day really to change the course of someone else's day, the choice of happy or
sad, with your family, your coworkers. Make it a good choice, make it a happy
choice. Then share your stories with us on our Facebook page! SPPRAK loves to
hear these stories and how you are making a positive difference in the lives of
others!
