As the name ‘Joyously Jennifer’ suggests, the theme running through this blog is happiness, positivity, joy;. The focus being on the nicer things in life, things which can act as mood lifters.

Of course happiness is more than just things. Many of us spend some time reflecting on ‘happiness’ – what being happy actually means, and how we can be happy. Is it something that just happens to us? Is it something we need to chase – something which is always just over the horizon? Or is it a conscious choice, a state of mind? Can it be as simple as just choosing to be happy?

Through this ‘Mind and Spirit’ page, I shall be exploring some viewpoints and research into happiness. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do.
