"One of the greatest lessons that adults can learn from children is the enviable ability to find happiness with simplicity." -- Summer Jeirles
Because I'm Happy
March 20th is celebrated as the UN's International Day of Happiness. In the spirit of happiness, Cubs Community shares this absolutely and positively jivin' music video of the Oscar-nominated song "Happy"; from a movie about a bad guy (Despicable Me 2). Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” is an anthem to sharing your light and letting your energy burst through your seams. And it’s fast becoming a movement, pun intended. Watch this video that defies you to stay still or glum for more than a moment.
