Being that it’s almost a three-day weekend, I think we’ll really bring up the average on the joy scale…but a recent survey found the average person has 432 moments of PURE JOY a year.  That’s about eight a week. They asked people to name the situations where they’re most likely to feel happy and relaxed.

Here’s the Top 10 . . .

1.  Hanging out on the couch or in bed with your significant other.  It was the most common answer people gave.

2.  Being on vacation, or on your way to your destination.

3.  On a date, but only if you’re already in a relationship.  First dates are too stressful.

4.  At a friend’s barbecue, picnic, or house party.

5.  When you’re outside walking your dog.

6.  Meeting friends out for drinks, or watching sports at a bar.

7.  A movie night with your kids.

8.  When you’re out shopping with a friend.

9.  Playing video games.

10.  Singing along to the radio.
