Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I was reading a book referencing a study a while back, the study gave everyone pagers, and throughout the day and asked them to rate their happiness. What they found is that while you get a brief blip when you dog dies or you win lotto, regardless of your demographic it's not long before you're back rating happiness at 7/10. Rich or poor, young or old, stressed or lazy: 7/10.

It may have even been this book I read it in 😆
