Choose friends who make you feel happy!
Not long ago, I opened an e-mail from Jennifer, a lady I knew through business in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, “I have been seeing how I feel after interacting with different people and thinking who I feel good about, 71 ”
Then she invited me and eleven other women to a “Movie Night” to be held every six weeks at her house. She promised we were sure to enjoy a good time. 72 She made it clear in her invitation that there was no pressure to show up to all or any movie nights. Wonderful! 73 I gratefully accepted her kind invitation.
74 Although all the women were eager to participate, some said they didn’t see themselves as optimistic people. “I told them they didn’t have to be cheerful around me all the time. I invited them because they made me feel happy,” she says.
75 In a US study, researchers measured the happiness of 4739 people at regular interval over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people they connect with. Amazingly it also found that a person’s happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends!
A．She is one of my good friends.
B．Research shows such gatherings make sense.
C．Later she had some puzzled reactions to her invitation.
D．And you are on my list.
E．We would chat, eat and watch feel-good movies.
F．I e-mailed her back immediately.
G．She was not satisfied with the women.
