THE KEY TO HAPPINESS IS WHAT??

I read a couple articles over the weekend about "the key to happiness." The first one, "does money buy happiness?" An overwhelming YES!! Duh. Hmm, let's see, run down apartment or big house, junker car or let's say HUMMER? Can't afford doctor/no insurance? Get very sick. Able to see doc? Get better! For obvious, on the surface reasons, money can increase one's quality of life, therefore increasing happiness. This only applies to the average person, not someone who is chronically or clinically depressed.

Another article more along the lines of how to become happier, it is suggested that every night, think of three good things that happened that day and analyze why they occurred. This is supposed to increase one's overall happiness. Why I don't know. But it is claimed this is a proven method and in fact works. Me? I am not rich nor poor, don't do mental exercises before bedtime, but I am blessed, I am just happy for no good reason!
