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!
Have a Spread the Joy Thursday!

Make today a brand new day!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Did you wake up this morning thinking that today is going to be more of the same old, same old? Going through the same motions, saying the same things, performing today's tasks on automatic pilot?
Well Good Morning! Today is a Brand New Day! Today when you say hello or Good Morning to someone, really hear yourself say it. Say it genuinely, you know, like you mean it. When you smile is it triggered because you're glad to see someone, because your intention is to brighten someone else's day or is it a triggered reflex to paste a smile on your face like you're sitting in a car waving to the crowds at a parade? Do you look at your habitual tasks for the day with a feeling of resignation? An "ok let's get this done so I can start on the next one, and the next one, and the next one....Ahhhhhh"
Just for today, approach everything and everyone like it's the first time. Smile because you are acknowledging someone you enjoy seeing or that you want to bring a smile to their day. Say Hello, or Good Morning or Good Afternoon and really mean it! Say it in such a way that other people look surprised and respond "Thank you!"
While you're at it say "Thank You" to as many people as possible today. Say "thank you" for little things, people that normally you would just take for granted, or things that you haven't appreciated before now.
Try to find one new thing that you haven't noticed before about your work area, your co-workers, where you have lunch, what you choose to eat, even your regular route home.
Treat this day like an adventure and see how your attitude, your feelings, and your results change the same old same old to the new and interesting!
Affirm:
Today I make my day new and interesting!
Have an Adventure Tuesday!

Lighten up and Smile!
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today's daily thought is compliments of my son who has the most wonderful, humorous bumper sticker on his car:
'When you are upset with someone try walking a mile in their shoes -
because then -you are a mile away - and you have their shoes.'
Keep a sense of humor today, lighten up, smile, laugh and enjoy!
Affirm:
I deserve a light heart and a happy soul today!
Have a sense of humor Wednesday!

Keep a Sense of Humor
Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Today's daily thought is compliments of my Aunt Rose who thankfully pointed out to me that I sounded so serious lately. And then when I went up to the store I saw a bumper sticker on a car that reminded me of one my son used to have on his old car and it just confirmed that a change in mindset was needed.
The bumper sticker said:
When you are upset with someone try walking a mile in their shoes -
because then -you are a mile away - and you have their shoes.
So keep a sense of humor today, lighten up, smile, laugh and enjoy!
Affirm:
I deserve a light heart and a happy soul today!

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.
