What did you do today to make someone happy?

As the old Jimmy Durante song goes, “make someone happy.” 

A thoughtful, hand-written letter will do that EVERY TIME!

It's so important to make someone happy. 
Make just one someone happy…
Fame, if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minutes.
Where's the real stuff in life, to cling to?
Love is the answer!

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy.

And you will be happy too.

What Can You Change About Your Life in One Day?

 Take stock of your day-to-day life. Are you giving to others or is a little out of balance where your work, your immediately family gets 99% of what you offer the world?  You can change that in one day. Donate more of your time or money to a charity. Supporting a cause will help keep you informed about social issues and can strengthen your sense of well being while benefitting others in the process. Additionally, monetary donations are tax deductible. This is really just a bonus because the real reward is not on April 15th but comes the other 364 days of the year.

Give thanks for your food, and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself. – Tecumseh, Shawnee Chief If you cannot be grateful for what you have received, then be thankful for what you have been spared. – Yiddish Proverb  Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the world belongs to you. – Lao-Tzu Whatever I am offered in devotion with a pure heart — a leaf, a flower, fruit, or water — I accept with joy. – Bhagavad Gita  He that is hard to please may get nothing in the end. – Aesop

Save The Planet, One Christmas Tree at A Time

Buy an artificial Christmas tree. People love my blue and silver “disco tree” which I got at yard sale a few years ago. It is VERY festive!  On average, over 30 million Christmas trees are sold in the United States each year—that’s over 30 million trees cut down each year, trees we could be saving and using for oxygen, housing material, and paper products instead of decoration for a small amount of time. Consider buying an artificial tree—you will save money within the first few years and they look just as nice without the mess of pine needles! http://urbanext.illinois.edu/trees/facts.cfm
