Hi, I am back in Illinois and will regale you with stories and photos next week.
Today, a video (4 minutes) that you may have seen (not the greatest acting, but it's the thought that counts), and always a good reminder. Everyone has their "stuff" going on, and although we cannot make them happy (that's an inside job and each individual holds their own key), we can cut folks some slack. The guy who grabs that parking spot from you is probably not up at night plotting ways to aggravate you. He simply may be preoccupied. How you react is up to you. Getting ticked off does not change him or the situation, it only serves to eat at you.
You are in charge of you, plain and simple. You have a choice. It also helps to remember that everyone is going through something, and if you can be a light, that is your choice too.
You never know the impact that one simple kindness can have.
It really does help you feel better too.
Words to Ponder:
Try wearing your kindness matters glasses for a day.

| JOY DROPPINGS | |
What brings me JOY lately...
- vacationing
- sunshine, ocean waves, red necks
- getting seated in the exit row and stretching my legs
- free lockers at the roller coasters
- the videos they take on the roller coasters (my mouth is open screaming the entire ride)
- the engineers who invented roller coasters
- (note: spinny motion jerky rides do not bring my after-lunch-tummy joy)
- Blue Man Group
- Franki Valli still belting it out at age 76
- behind the scenes Hard Rock tour
- my travel mates, Mister Romantic and His Wonderful Son
Send me YOUR Joy Droppings! Keep them coming! I need many many many from you to be published in a little book later this year.

| What I like about ME | |
