I think it is safe to say that we could all use an extra dose of happiness and feeling good in our lives, especially lately.  Every morning when I log on I see articles about how to be more alert, more productive and happier overall if I start my day a certain way.
Not gonna lie, I have read a few of them.  There are days when 3am comes and my butt is dragging, so if there is a secret formula that will get me through those days, I want it.  So far I have not found that and the only secret formula I rely on to get me through is Bean Juice, Morning Nectar, Java, aka COFFEE.
