When you think of the happiest places in the world, visions of swaying palm trees, sandy beaches, and fruity drinks probably come to mind. But, no, the happiest place in the world is more like a gray, rainy, chilly place where the locals never get their hopes too high – they figure if they don’t expect much, things will always be good. Over the last several years, the little nation of Denmark has come out on top as the ‘happiest country on earth.’  I spent just a couple days in this happy hamlet – and I have to say it was gray, cold, and wet. But laughter did fill the air and the people I met, well, did seem pretty darn happy.
