" Building physical, intellectual and social resources

Physical resources:

People are more playful when they are happy ... Happy people are more likely to exersice on a regular basis. In short, happiness translates into physical fitness - stronger muscles, improved heart-lung function, and increased flexibility.

Intellectual resources:

People learn better when they're in a possitive frame of mind

Social resources:

Human beings gravitate toward positive people and away from negative ones" - by Happiness for Dummies

"Happiness is one antidote to rage. Optimism can be an antidote to fear and cynism. Joy is the opposite of misery. Humor defuses a desire for vengeance. Positive and negatives can't exist at the same moment in time. Embracing one negates the other."

"Human beings are wired with an innate, neurological potential for happiness, but whether this potential eventually becomes a reality depends on how we choose to live our lives. In other words, happiness isn't an accident, and it isn't a gift from gods - it's the gift you give yourself!

Only in recent years have psycologists begun to appriciate the benefits of positive emotions - benefits that include everything from enhanced creativity to improved immune-system function." - Happiness for Dummies

*** Прекрасная утренняя прогулка по набережной. Погода великолепная.
*** Две серые уточки плыли и за ними был шлейф от волн на воде
*** Совещание в партнерской фирме. Новый отремонтированный зал, прохладно и палерованные столы вносят хорошую атмосферу
*** Несколько спокойных минут в кафетерии на улице пока у Кати был музыкальный урок. 
*** Мой ребенок учит русский язык по Rosetta Stone. (дожили ;-), но главное, что учит и ей нравится)

"Happiness is a sign that you are with the right people

Happiness is also a by-product of the social world in which you live -the people who  surround you.

- Do you need to live close to family in order to be happy?
- Do you need to live aound people your own age?
- Are you around enought people day in and day out?
- Are these people supportive?
- Do the people you spend most of your time with share your interests - cycling, sports, the arts?
- Are you in sync intellectually with those around you?
- Are you a single person in a world where everyone you know seems to be married?
- Are you a Republican working around a bunch of Democrats or a Democrat working around a bunch of Republicans?

The answers to these question may have a lot to do with how happy you are.
Think about the people who are aound you - your neighbors, co-workers, family, and friends.
Are you living around people who make you happy?"  - W. Doyle Gentry, PhD

*** Накормила дочка и ее подружку и отвезла их на теннис
*** Сидела и смотрела как дети играют в теннис. Я радовалась тому, что они радостные бегают по корту.
*** Прогулка по вечерней набережной. Огни, вода, яхты, прохладный ветерок. Тишина.

Doris Duke's Shangri La

"Happiness is a sign that you're in the right place:
Physical surroundings are more mportant than most people realize. The notion that a person can be happy anywhere if he wants to symply isn't true. Place matters - and, by place, I mean things such as:

- the country you live in
- the region you live in
- the climate
- the size of community
- the architecture
- the terrain (for example, mountains, beachers, desert)
- the amount of sunlight you're exposed to
- how close you are to your neighbors
- the type of housing you have (for example, apartment, house, cottage, loft)
- how much noise there is
- how green the surroundngs are (for example, a concrete jungle or a place with a lot of trees and parks)"  -- W. Doyle Gentry, PhD
