Happiness Is…

Just a few ways to create some happiness for yourself and others…

• Sit down and enjoy a leisurely breakfast (instead of gobbling a few bites over the sink before rushing out the door).
• Indulge in your favorite childhood treat, like an ice cream sandwich.
• Find one “perfect” flower and set it on your desk.
• Send a relative or friend a thank you card – just for being who they are.
• Compliment a co-worker.
• Plan a pedicure date with a girlfriend or your daughter.
• Call your mom (or dad).
• Treat a co-worker or friend to a cup of coffee or tea (and maybe add a snack).
• Make a contribution to your favorite charity.

Here are some great “escapes”:

• Get up an hour earlier to enjoy the calm.
• Leave your desk for lunch.
• Stop at a park for a bit of solitude.
• Tend a garden.
• Go to bed early – at least one night of the week.

Finally, here a few things you don’t have to do:

• Accept every invitation.
• Compete with Mr/Mrs Perfect.
• Try to please everybody.

Remember, whatever you give out will come back to you.

Until next time…
