Quick Hits: Vacationing and the Newest Humanist Symposium
Gee, maybe the cliché is wrong. Perhaps you’ve heard it: It’s not the destination, but the journey.
New research suggests that at least when it comes to vacations, the statement ought to be revised this way: It’s not the destination, but having one and planning for it.
A study published in the online in journal, Applied Research in Quality of Life, shared this finding:
[V]acationers tend to be happier than non-vacationers in the lead up to their break, but once they are back, there is very little difference between the two groups’ levels of happiness. [source]
Happy anticipation. A sweet emotion.
And speaking of anticipation (what a lame segue!), I anticipate heading over to the Gaytheists later today to check out this post: Humanist Symposium: A Delightfully Gay Edition.
What will I find there? I don’t know about the destination, yet, but my journey over will bring me some sweet anticipation.
