Happiest girl in the whole USA.

2/20/2013

 
Remember that old Donna Fargo song?  If you are a graduate of those old school K-Tel record collection commercials, you will remember. 
Turns out, there may be some quantifiable truth to happiness and location.  The Atlantic recently published a study that isolates happiness by geography, as collected by Twitter language.  This is cool for language geeks,
psychology geeks, AND demographic geeks.

No surprise, but Hawaii ranks as the happiest state overall.  The happiest general area? That would be Napa, in the heart of California wine country.  Maine is high up there in the happiness tally, too, despite six months of winter.


Challenge:  Where do you feel happiest?

    About Shonna.
    As a writer living in my home state of Maine, I sling words for cash, compassion, or glory. I also teach, tell groups how to improve systems, and offer development consultation. 


    I also wear eyeglasses.  Generally, big ones.
