I found an interesting article last week:
"Life is full of expectations," says Rutledge. "It is often said that you will be happier if your expectations are lower. We find that there is some truth to this."
The researchers learned what they already knew, that money doesn't buy happiness. Happiness is more tied to expectations and rewards. They hope this research will lead to better treatment of mood disorders.

Blue lobelia and pink dianthus - always a geat combination for boxes.
Will have to take a look at the article later - mind tou I thought we all knew that money doesn't always bring happiness, did they really need a study to tell them that??

Beautiful photo! Money doesn't buy happiness, that's true, but it is hard for some poeple to be happy when they don't know where the money for the next meal is coming from. Valerie
imagine that! such lovely flowers, your bath tub sketch is beautiful too!
Hello Christine. Such pretty flowers. I think too many of us believe we have to be happy all the time then get disappointed when life does not work out like that. here are good times and bad times. We just have to learn to live in the moment and celebrate the good times when they happen. Because those bad times can be bad at times.
Those are gorgeous flowers! They brighten up any spot. I agree that money does not buy happiness.
Yeah -- "poor little rich girl"
My answer is Count Your Blessings!
This sounds very intresting. I will read it before I go to bed :) Thank you for sharing!
Such beautiful flowers, so bright and lovely. I agree than money isn't necessarily an indicator for happiness...
Lovely flowers Christine.
Yes money don't buy happiness:)
OK... sounds interesting. I won't hope for winning the gazillion dollar lottery then. :- )
I found it very hard, retiring, changing my hope, dreams and goals when I went into depression. It is a difficult stage of life.
