Happiness Report
I really meant to "write down my dreams and plans for the future" last week, but maybe I can get to it today instead of being supportive of "colleagues." I'm a word person, and I know a colleague is "a person with whom one works, especially in a profession or business." I'm retired and have no "colleagues" to support, unless it's my friend Donna who also works in the small library of our retirement center. But we don't work every day, and we rarely work there at the same time. Instead, today I'll think about my dreams and plans for the future.

But they never forget how you made them feel."

I know we've "talked" about this already, but I do like this monthly calendar even if I don't do every single one of the tasks. It makes me think about happiness more often and that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. I don't try to be exact about doing what's suggested, like trying to "count how many people I smile at" (really?!?!?), but I do feel better when I am focused on happy things ... and friendly things ... and compassionate things. Yes, the calendar is good for me.
