According to a recent poll taken by researchers at the University of Cambridge in England, Utah ranks #1 as the happiest state in the nation. The researchers "analyz[ed] data collected from more than 350,000 individuals who were interviewed between Jan. 2 and Dec. 30, 2008 as part of the Gallup Organization's Well-Being Index. The index includes six types of well-being: overall evaluation of their lives, emotional health, physical health, healthy behaviors (such as whether a person smokes or exercises), and job satisfaction." Out of a possible 100 points, Utah scored 69.2. My old state, Maine, scored 65.5 (ranked 29 out of 50).
I knew H and I had been smiling more than usual, but now it's been scientifically proven!
