【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ties to make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies quickly and before we know it, it is time for bed. That is why each day we try to fill our happiness jar. Most days, I fill mine by going to the ballroom dance（社交舞） class with my husband and daughter. Between the music, the dancing and the friendship among the students, I always leave classes happier than when I entered. Music is another way to make me happy. This week, I was glad to take part in an orchestra（管弦樂隊(duì)） practice at my church（教堂）. A small group of us met to practice Christmas music for a church service. It was a time of fun, friendship and music making. At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full. This week, think about how you spent your time. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life? Or are the necessary and voluntary tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance（獲得平衡） among your three jars.
