While tooling around the intenet for something positive, I ran across this list from Joshua Becker. In his blog, he writes "...the quickest way to find happiness is to help someone find theirs." I couldn't agree more.

 

1. Handwrite a letter.

2. FaceTime/Skype an old friend.

3. Buy coffee for a stranger.

4. Smile and joke with your next cashier.

5. Leave a nice tip.

6. Buy movie tickets for a family in your neighborhood.

7. Ask your religious friend about the story behind the season.

8. Invite someone over for dinner.

9. Send a gift of food/coffee.

10. Shovel your neighbor’s driveway.

11. Bring in a warm breakfast for your office.

12. Go ahead, sing along.

 

We probably can’t change the entire world with these simple ideas. But we can still intentionally seek to add life and cheer to the people around us. And as a result, make this season a little better.

Love this blog! I would add "Post positive things on social media." You never know who's day you'll brighten.

It’s fun to bring a smile to others. Just as your blog brought a smile now.

LIRR conductors take so much unfair abuse. I'm always polite and kind to them.

It’s nice to be nice.
Always prefer that.
Funny that to put perhaps the best smile on your (own) face “requires” an unselfish act.

Being generous and kind should be a way of life not a time of year. It always feels great. Terrific blog. Happy Holiday and a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful 2018!

Spiritually speaking, giving and receiving are completely equal.
I hate that phrase so much.
Happy Holidays!
