International Day of Happiness
Happy International Day of Happiness! The United Nations declared today as a day of happiness, and you can get involved by inspiring people to make the world a happier place by intentionally engaging in small acts so to celebrate, Acts of Happiness walls are being built in cities across the U.S., including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas, among others, with a virtual wall of happiness at ActsofHappiness.org.
To commemorate this mission, Live Happy magazine is inviting everyone to join their Acts of Happiness campaign, designed to gather stories, images, and video that share people’s #HappyActs and how they are making the world a happier place.
