Sharing happiness could be as easy as making your kids a special batch of pancakes for breakfast, packing a lunch for your husband with a little note inside that says “I Love You”, or doing something special for a co worker by taking them to lunch or bringing them a treat.
Nothing gets us giggling harder than a dance party. When my kids are bored or even fighting over toys I know it’s time for a little distraction. They pick a favorite song, I turn the music way up and we boogie.
I’ve made it a habit the past year or so to pass on books after I’ve read them. As I’m reading, I think of someone who might enjoy the book next, and then I hand it off. Not only does it share the love of reading, it lets that person know I’m thinking of them.
In this day and age, with a failing economy, political debate, and the lack of appreciation of thy neighbor, words carry more weight than ever. And I am finding that words are, indeed, the one thing I can give everyone.
I take my daughter to the park as often as I can because it reminds me that true happiness is free.
Smiling is the one disease everyone should catch. It really is contagious. When you smile those around you will smile too.
I try to give as much as I can so I can set an example for my boys such as donating clothes, toys, stuff that I don’t need.
If your kids text a lot, just text them a quick note once in a while, or write one and stick it into their lunch boxes or on a bedside table. It takes just a few seconds to do, and even if your kids grown and find it cheesy, they’ll appreciate it.
Today, out of the blue, I made it a point to call my grandma. I see her often and we speak nearly everyday, but today I called just to tell her how blessed I was to have her in my life.
Day to day life can become so routine, that I have decided to take a new approach and try to incorporate a little “Happiness” at least once a day. From leaving my husband a note on his laptop, to leaving a handful of candies on my little bugs place mat at the table. That’s my little way of adding happiness to our everyday life.
