High on Happiness

One of the hallmarks of happy people is that they’re a sociable bunch.  On the one hand, their happiness draws others to them.  Few things, after all, are as irresistibly attractive as a genuine smile.  And the happiness vibes behind their grins are catchier than measles.  Hang around someone who’s rooted in gladness and you’ll start grinning, too.  And that’s a fact.

On the other hand, happy people seek others out, invite them in, invite them along. Happiness, they know, in all its colors, is juicier when shared.

There’s a synergy to happiness shared, you see.  The sum of your happiness plus mine is bigger than either of ours would be alone.  Me in relation to you magnifies happiness for us both, turns it up a notch, brings out its sparkle.  It may just be that the space between us is where happiness makes itself most at home.
