Guess what’s reported to be the number one contributor to happiness?

Money? No.

Good looks? Nope.

Popularity? Still nope.

A hot sex life? Guess again!

According to a report by The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, all these mentioned life goodies were topped by the biggest life goodie of them all: “autonomy” – defined as”the feeling that your life – its activities and habits — are self-chosen and self-endorsed.”

An unlikely challenger ends the Beatles’ reign atop the U.S. pop charts; This Day in History

“Following the ascension of “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” to #1 in early February, the Beatles held the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for three and a half solid months—longer than any popular artist before or since. Over the course of those months, the Fab Four earned three consecutive #1 singles (a record); held all five spots in the top five in early April (a record); and had a total of 14 songs in the Billboard Hot 100 in mid-April (yet another record). But just when it seemed that no homegrown act would ever stand up to the British invaders, one of least likely American stars imaginable proved himself equal to the task. On May 9, 1964, the great Louis Armstrong, age 63, broke the Beatles’ stranglehold on the U.S. pop charts with the #1 hit “Hello Dolly.”” via An unlikely challenger ends the Beatles’ reign atop the U.S. pop charts — History.com This Day in History — 5/9/1964.

Before I moved to Wisconsin, there were two times in my life that I witnessed a sunrise; once in Montauk, NY and once in Newport, RI. There are few things in life [for me, anyway] than witnessing a sunrise from total darkness to a glorious sun over the water. Now that I live in Algoma, I can have that pleasure every day if I like. Althought Lake Michigan doesn’t have the same salt tang as the Atlantic, the sunrises are every bit as beautiful and no one does a better job of bringing them to you than Bill Pevlor at Pops Digital…

Save your love!

 “Save your love, my love save it just for me

Save it up, every drop till you’re here with me

Save it all, don’t you fall for somebody new

‘Cause I’m saving my love for you.”

I’m saving mine until May 17…

Thank God they finally did it…

I’m not much for TV, but I do love the series Castle, hokey as it is. Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic are great in their roles and the writers have been doing a great job of keeping the sexual tension going but Monday night that ended for good…

“Beckett, what do you want”? Castle asked, when a rain-soaked Kate washed up at his doorstep. “You,” she responded, looking up at the mystery writer with bedroom eyes. And as they say, the rest is history!

Kicking off Hump (Hug?) Day with Dave Matthews Band and “Everyday.” (Lori, music video is dedicated to you).  And now to feature some of the most inspiring blog posts of the week by some of my favorite bloggers:

If I had a son who was playing high school football – he’d be lucky to play for Coach Bill Moore – the Westfield, MA High School Football Coach. I was inspired by Coach Moore’s recent post Jugs: “It was 1989 when I faced a monster nicknamed Jugs. He was a colossus of a man, six feet six inches tall and 300 pounds of powerful mass and ill content. I watched the film in the week before the game. I knew what was coming. I had faced powerful men before, but nothing like this…”

What you see depends on what you’re looking for

“What you see depends on what you’re looking for.” ~ UNKNOWN via What you see depends on what you’re looking for. « Positively Positive.

Thank You!

I love Kute Blackson and his amazing energy and insight…

“Thank YOU.

THANK you

THANK YOU

Perhaps two of the most potent words you could say.

As powerful as any mantra, prayer, poem, affirmation or chant.

If all you did was say a heartfelt  “Thank you” each moment of your life to everyone you met, miracles would occur.

“Thank you” melts hearts. Let’s people feel loved and appreciated. End wars. Start new friendships. Create smiles.

The more you give thanks, the more you will have to give thanks about in your life. It’s been said that “What you think about expands”.  I like to say, “What you THANK about expands.” via Thank You!.
