A few days ago, on International Women’s Day, I joined the millions of women (and hopefully millions of men), who together celebrated the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.

According to www.internationalwomensday.com (a very cool site which I unfortunately only visited today for the first time, and which I immediately wished I had visited BEFORE March 8, but better late than never as they say, and next year I’ll know where to go to find out what’s happening around the world on March 8…), International Women’s Day was first celebrated in 1911, which makes it 98 years young. (Read about the first IWD here.)

It’s confirmed: I’m full of gratitude about mostly everything, just about all the time.

And I’m happier than most people too (which, to be honest, came as a bit of a surprise…).

I’m one of those odd ducks who loves taking tests, ticking boxes and filling out surveys and questionnaires (strange, but true). So when my friend Terry Netto sent me a link to the Authentic Happiness Testing Center, I was intrigued.
