Thank you to those who already jumped on the Joy Dropping bandwagon and sent in your joy droppings. We will do a lovely compilation book at the end of this year. Please keep them coming. We need 365 entries!
Thank you for spreading joy in your worlds, in your way. Every drop matters.
Start thinking now:
February 14 begins Random Act of Kindness Week. Pick a kindness and do it every day for a week. Big or small, anonymous or loudly. Check out the website for random acts of kindness if you need inspiration.
I also challenge you to do a random act of kindness for yourself, every day, for a week. Maybe you buy yourself your favorite treat; watch that movie you've been longing to see; take a bubble bath; get a pedicure; take a nap; sign up for a class; compliment yourself; forgive someone; forgive yourself; let it go; take time to breathe....
Feel free to share your stories with me.
Words to Ponder:
What random act of kindness will I do today?

| What I like about ME | |
In your JOY Journal, record daily joy droppings, quotes that speak to you, books you want to read, movies you want see, songs that grab you, things you want to do, AND "Things I Like About Me." The greater your self-confidence and like of self, the greater your level of happiness. What I like about me...

Instead of just a week, how about the entire month as random acts of kindness month?
Go buy yourself a nice lip balm and take some pictures of snow drifts.
