All good things

We talked today in Math class about statistics. My teacher, Bro. Saunders, mentioned an experiment that greatly intrigued me. He told us about an experiment where there were three groups. Group1 was told to write 5 things that happened that day every night. These things could be good or bad. Group 2 was told to write 5 good things that happened that day to them every night. Group 3 was told to write 5 bad things that happened to them every night. All three groups were also told to record their happiness level on a scale of 1-10. Group 1 always stayed around the same happiness level. Group 3 got lower and lower in their levels while Group 2's levels climbed. What we focus on has a great affect on our daily lives. I am going to make it a goal to write 5 good things that have happened that day every night and I invite you to join me. I would love to hear about your experience. Love T-Ray
