Greetings from the slopes of Beaver Creek, Colorado!
Blue skies, crisp fresh air and skis on my feet bring me so much happiness.
Speaking of happiness, our new country profile is Bhutan - the only country in the world that measures GNH - Gross National Happiness.
And March 20 is the International Day of Happiness.
Wishing YOU abundant happiness!
