Thank you. Merci. Gracias.

Hi,

Happy Monday! Normally Mondays are a source of irritation for me, but now that summer is here, I love Mondays! I woke up at 9 today. Hello, Heaven.

Going along with my "scatter joy" theme, I thought I would introduce all of you to something fun and gratifying that you could EASILY do to scatter a little joy around the world. Oprah introduced a little project called the "Thank You Game." What happens is that she gives you a topic for the day, and you are to thank someone, anyone, who fits the description. Her goal is to get one billion thank yous around the world. They post new challenges daily, so you will never run out of ideas. It feels great to thank someone, but the best is the reaction you get from the person who is genuinely appreciative of you acknowledging what they did. It's a win/win situation.

You don't have to send out a ticker tape parade to the person's door step. Send a text, card, email, or make a phone call. Saying "thank you" is one of the greatest things any of us can say. Imagine how much nicer our community, country, even world would be if we all took the time to realize how much other people do for us on a daily basis. If I accomplish anything with this blog, I want other people to realize how important it is to care for and be kind to others. Sure, we all could make it on our own, but what fun would that be?

Be someone who adds to the world, not takes away from it. Add a little joy not only to your life but to others. It's really quite fun. :)

Go do go things!
