Friday Fact

I have been called a female Cliff Clavin (from the TV show Cheers). This is not as insulting as it would seem since the reference is to Cliff's habit of sharing tidbits of trivia while sipping his beer at the bar. I too am full of useless facts (or so it seems).So it seems appropriate to share a fact on Friday. If there's one thing I learned in school about writing and catchy gimmicks it's alliteration!

Here's the first Friday Fact:

Writing is good for you! A study by psychologists at the University of California, Davis, found that participants who kept a journal recording five things that they were grateful for over the past week were a full 25 percent happier than the participants who noted five hassles that bothered them. Plus, the grateful group reported fewer health complaints, got more sleep and spent more time exercising.
