Reposting this fun list of happiness facts today:
Apparently I’m one of the crowd. I especially like 7 & 8. Also the one about blind people smiling is awesome. My aunt who is blind has one of the brightest smiles of anyone I know, especially when she sings. She was always asked to sing often, and I think it was as much for her glowing spirit as her voice.
What an amazing story. Thanks for sharing!
#7- sweet!!!
#7 for me – that is just too cute 😉. Thx for sharing.
#6 made me lol. Hang out with cats and kittens??!!
Hello – love this post 🙂
Fave … Torn between 6 and 7 – I LOVE cats, and have recently visited the Monterey Aquarium and saw their beautiful sea otters. Thank you 🙂
Every time I see a picture of #7 I can’t help but smile. It’s so cute that otters hold hands while sleeping! I also love #1, 3, and 8. I wish people laughed more than 13 times a day! As for #6, there are also cat cafes in Japan. I think there’s one in London too! Have yet to visit one, but seems like it would be a very fun experience 😛
Otters, without a doubt.
NUMBER 6! I want all the cats!
So many cool facts here. I love otters. I think they’re one of the coolest animals. And I definitely want to find that cafe in Korea. This a really cool post. Thanks so much.

#8 is my favorite! That’s the way life should be!!!
#3, #7 and #8! These are wonderful! Thank you!
I like #9 since I was born in 1987 and am getting married in 2013 – funny would have never figured that out but I love dates with some strange significance!
Nice I would go 4 no’s: 7,8,9 🙂
I loved #3!! So obvious yet we rarely think about it.. Lovely post 😊
#3 So glad you stumbled upon my blog. All your posts are succinct and sweet 🙂
Thank you so much!
I almost tripped over myself running to the source of the cafe with cats. I am immediately telling everyone about this. Great site–thank you for visiting my blog!
#2 and #8 are my favorites! Laughter keeps the soul young. I’ll have to check out more about Bhutan. It sounds like a cool place! Thanks for stopping by the Clearly Conveyed Communications blog and for the follow. I I’m looking forward to checking out more of your content.
I liked the otters and the blind smiling facts. Very neat and nice assortment!
#7 So sweet about otters. If only humans can be so connected. Thank you for such a feel good post.
No 7 and 3 for me !
but I have smiled 9 times 🙂 oops make that 10
Moods are definitely contagious so happiness is the way to go! I especially love the animal facts. I’d like to go hang out at the cat cafe. Just thinking about that makes me happy! 🙂
How cute!
What a lovely post! I’m smiling inside and out now. Number 7 is definitely my favourite.

I hope I can laugh more than 13 times – thanks for following me. I apologize in advance that over the next week or so you will be getting lots of posts – I’m moving a blog from Xanga to here, and there are lots of posts I don’t want to lose. Once moved, I will be down to a more reasonable amount of posting.
Oh, I love the one about the blind people. That is such a sweet thing that they experience the emotion and joy even though they cannot see! I also like the otters holding hands, so cute! Thank you for visiting my blog today and for the follow!
I have a difficulty choosing between 7 and 9, the otter’s life in sleep is so sweet to imagine and the digit thingy was quite a revelation, so obvious and yet obscure.
Lest I forget, thanks for the like.
I agree I think 7 and 9 are the best. No. 7 made me smile and No. 9 was just so very interesting. 🙂
