National I Want You to be Happy Day
So, how’re you doin’?
No really, how are you?
March 3rd is National I Want You to be Happy Day.
A day for to encourage each other, to avoid selfishness, and do something to make other people happy.
A good place to start . . . ask people how they’re doing, stop to look in their eyes, and wait for an answer. Listen. Really listen. Make a deliberate effort to avoid fly by conversations.
Next . . . share more smiles, compliments, and laughter. That will not only make the people around you happy it will make you happy too.
Finally . . . challenge your children to go out of their way to make each other happy. A no bickering day . . . for parents that sounds like a day designed in heaven. Woohoo!

LOL! Great video… Thanks for the laugh! And…I’m happy today because I survived waiting in line at the Social Security department! Only 2.5 hours…Not too bad! LOL
Blessings, Joan
2.5 hours – not too bad – now that is having a great attitude, and attitude is really what it’s all about. I can get cranky waiting for only a few minutes or find the whole thing highly entertaining . . . It’s up to me.
Glad you liked the video! 🙂
