The bad news: Americans are spending a lot of time and money on things that won’t do the trick.

Our new video explores why happiness … is surprisingly cheap.

Wrapping up #54Happiness Month with a special visit from Spark today! 🧡🐸😁

You get joy and self-fulfillment when you make a difference in another person's life. It is difficult to know how genuine happiness feels when you have never made a positive impact in another person’s life.

Meet Solomon. 💙🐶 Solomon brought the most joy & smiles to our staff Friday afternoon when he & his trainer, former ELC staff Karen, stopped by to wish everyone a happy teacher’s appreciation week! #bestdayever Carrie Azab School District 54 LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs #Weare54 #54happiness 🧡🌱
