I'm happy it's over, so I suppose there's that.

Yes I know, but I only just learned about it.
Tbf I also wasn't bothered; but then I saw a poll that said that 90 percent is happy. I found to this to be quite unbelievable, so I thought let's test this.
So far there are only votes for unhappy; so clearly their poll was overly optimistic (note: only two responses so far).

I'm feeling quite optimistic, I think a draw or more is possible. They have weaknesses.
How does one quantify 'happiness'?

See chapter two of this thing: LINK
Or more precise:
The OECD (2013, p.10)
Guidelines on Measuring of Subjective
Well-being
define and recommend the following measures of subjective well-being:“Good mental states, including all of the various evaluations, positive and negative, that people
make of their lives and the affective reactions of
people to their experiences....
This definition of subjective well-being hence
encompasses three elements:
1.
Life evaluation
—a reflective assessment on a
person’s life or some specific aspect of it.
2.
Affect
—a person’s feelings or emotional
states, typically measured with reference to
a particular point in time.
3.
Eudaimonia
—a sense of meaning and purpose
in life, or good psychological functioning.”
Almost all OECD countries

now contain a life evaluation question, usually about life satisfaction, on a 0 to 10 rating scale, in one or more of their surveys. However, it will be many years before the accumulated efforts of national statisti-
cal offices will produce as large a number of comparable country surveys as is now available
through the Gallup World Poll (GWP), which has been surveying an increasing number of
countries since 2005 and now includes almost all of the world’s population. The GWP contains
one life evaluation as well as a range of positive and negative experiential questions, including
several measures of positive and negative affect, mainly asked with respect to the previous day.
In this chapter, we make primary use of the life evaluations, since they are, as shown in Table
2.1, more international in their variation and more readily explained by life circumstances.

Personally I don't see it as a quantifiable concept. I just try to help people whenever I can, works for me when I am feeling down.

The reptiles allow us only 1 day in 365 to be happy?Apparently it is World Happiness day today.
That's why the numbers I got in a Chinese fortune cookie didn't come up in the wife's lottery. She did it on the wrong day.

Loads of other special days though. A couple of days ago I am walking around town and everywhere I see children in pyjama's. Turned out that it was the national pyjama day. Never knew that that existed.
It's to support seriously ill children who get the lessons streamed in the hospital. In April there is an international one.
Frandliness day is better.
