Start a Joy ripple!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Your mission should you decide to accept it is to Scatter Joy today!

A smile on your face to all you meet. Saying "Happy Holidays!" to strangers brings the most wonderful results. Try saying the most powerful of all words "Thank You" to as many people as possible today. Random acts of Kindness are very powerful too, especially at this time of year.
Whenever I see bell ringers outside of a store I always say "Thank you for braving the cold to help other people." Sometimes I even come out of the store with a cup of hot coffee or cocoa and hand it to the person and say "Just a little something to help keep you warm"
Try it for yourself and see the immediate surprise of joy that follows.
Give the gift of a smile, a Holiday greeting, a simple Thank You or a small gesture of kindness to all you encounter today and discover that the person who receives the best gift - is you. As you warm the hearts of others your own heart warms and fills and overflows with a joy that will carry you through the day and perhaps even several days- if you let it.

Go for it- Scatter Joy today!

Be Good to You

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Today's mission should you decide to accept it is: Be good to Yourself.
Treat yourself with love, patience, and kindness. Pamper yourself with a few quiet moments just for you. Tickle your own funny bone by reading something funny, watching kids at the playground, observing your pet or watching a funny program or movie.
Whatever you do today or this weekend or wherever you go, simply: Be good to You. When you take the time to be good to yourself it makes it easier to be to be good to others.

Affirm:
    I choose to be good to Myself because I am Worth it!

Do a Random Act of Kindness Today

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Your mission should you decide to accept it is to do one Random Act of Kindness today to Scatter Joy!
Put a smile on your face to all you meet. Saying "Have a great day!" to strangers brings the most wonderful results. Say the Most powerful of all words, "Thank You" to as many people as possible today.
Take it one step further and do one Random Act of Kindness for someone.

I decided to give the City Road crew, that was working in the heat and humidity at the end of my street, each a cold bottle of water with a big "Thank You for working in this heat to improve our streets". It was amazing the wonderful surprised reactions I got.

You could help someone carry items to their car, take in a cart from the parking lot or put several into the cart corral. You can do a simple thing like hold the door open for someone as they enter or leave a building and say "Have a great day" ( and mean it)
Go ahead and give the gift of a smile, a Hello, a Random Act of Kindness or a simple Thank You to all you encounter today and discover that the person who receives the best gift is - You. As you warm the hearts of others your own heart warms, fills and overflows with a joy that will carry you through the day and perhaps even several days - if you let it.
Go for it - Scatter Joy today!

Have a Joyful Thursday!
