When I first heard about Happiness Happens month and the “Secret Society of Happy People” I laughed. Then, when I took the time to learn more about it, I only felt admiration for its founder Pamela Gail Johnson, who in 1998 began her crusade to create more happiness in the world.

My plane was hours late. I arrived at the hotel tired and cranky. A major head cold (and possibly fever) was brewing and worst of all I hadn’t eaten any dinner, and was hungry. As I approached the hotel coffee shop I saw a woman at the cash register. She was counting money. …
