When you're a kid, you pretty much have the market cornered on happiness. No bills to pay, no pressure to put food on the table and no time spent in a cubicle.
So, when we got the idea to put together an issue on happiness, we decided it was an absolute must to include kids.
To that end, we e-mailed Cathy Furlong, a second-grade teacher at Beaver Meadow Elementary School. We asked if we could borrow her class in exchange for cookies, which she readily agreed to.
We passed out a worksheet to the class, asking the kids what they do to cheer themselves up when they're sad, and we left plenty of space for them to draw what makes them happy.
Get ready to soak up the happiness.
