Happiness – What Makes it Possible?

In the book, Wild Comfort: The Solace of Nature, Kathleen Dean Moore says this:

I would suggest that the elements of happiness might include

1) a certain baseline standard of security

2) significant contact with the natural world, its sights and sounds and comfort

3) meaningful work

4) family or some other set of people who love you and whom you deeply love

5) stimulating ideas

6) celebratory arts – and

7) the time to pause and notice these and rejoice in them.


We wish you happiness, always.
