What a great way to start the work week with a national holiday that makes us smile. Even laugh! A key part of making today a success is all the fun things we can do. Life isn’t all about us but the joy we share with others.
Choose today to be a blessing. Here are 10 ways to make this special day/week important to those you love. And the side benefit is the warm feeling you’ll get inside.
- Look in the mirror and smile. Now keep that pose all day long. This is not a day to eat lemons and frown.
- Vow to be positive. No matter what the day brings, search for an outlook that encourages others.
- Send an e-card to your friends, loved ones, and co-workers. Let them know they are valued.
- Treat those you work with or your family. Donuts or freshly baked cookies always give me an extra boost to the day.
- Do a good deed. When’s the last time you opened the door for someone, allowed a driver into traffic, or let someone in front of you in a busy restaurant line? Are you a mom of school age kids? Tuck a sweet note in his/her lunch box or notebook. Want to make a stranger really happy? Pick up their tab for coffee or lunch.
- Deliver flowers to a shut-in. Nothing says special like a fresh bouquet. The bright colors will put a smile on anyone’s face.
- Call your mother or father. That puts brownie points into your corner.
- Post this blog on social media to bless a reader.
- Resolve to make happiness happen more often than once a year.
- Celebrate happiness! It’s contagious.
