I am having my coffee and reading the paper and thinking what a dreary day (it's raining). As I fumble thru the paper, the coffee has not kicked in yet. I come across a article from the NY Times stating that "sunshine states really are happiest." I started to laugh, of course we are happier, true we have storms and it rains in December- sometimes but by far the "Sunshine State" is a much happier place.  I guess the NY Times needed to do a study on why so many of there residents leave during the winter :). The top 5 "HAPPY" states are Hawaii , Florida, Tennessee, Arizona and Louisiana, in no specific order. So as I look out and see my bird feeders overflowing with rain water , I smile and say at least it's not SNOW.  HAVE A HAPPY DAY :)
