“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”–C. S. Lewis–
Today is a good day to think about and check up on some friends that you haven’t seen in a while. I will make them feel good that you took the time to see how they are doing. It will make you both feel good to share a smile and a laugh. Tell them that John said,
“Everything is going to be all right.”

“Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness.”—Maurice Maeterlinck—
This reminds me of the gloom that was spread by the media during the past year. It WAS contagious.
But happiness will conquer it.
Counteract the sadness and negativism that is around you today. Let’s all join in to make happiness the norm instead of fear and gloom.
Share a smile and a kind word with lots of people.
Tell everyone you see that “Everything is going to be all right.”

Boxing Day
“The charity that is a trifle to us can be precious to others.”—Homer—
When something new enters our house, my wife has a habit of saying, “Something comes in, something goes out.”
We often have so many possessions that some of them have lost any semblance of meaning or pleasure. A lot of these objects such as warm clothing or children’s toys, may be given to someone who needs them.
Make someone happy and in turn your act will remove clutter from your life and give you a good feeling.
Share a smile along with everything else
Everything is going to be all right

Christmas 2015
And he went on to be world famous. His words are still with us after all these years.
A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens’ novel has been so popular since it was first published in 1843 that it has never been out of print. Dickens’ interest in the plight of the poor and social injustice likely started when his father was sentenced to prison and Charles, then 12, had to quit school and take a job in a factory. Nearly 20 years later, in search of a bestseller, he came up with the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come—from the Fussy Librarian—
Merry Christmas
“God Bless us every one”—Tiny Tim.
Today is a wonderful day to practice optimism, happiness, and smiling
Share lots of smiles
Everything is going to be all right.

Tags: difficulties, Mark Twain quote, prioritize jobs
“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.”—Mark Twain—
It is much easier to share a smile if you have taken care of the unpleasant or difficult parts of the day. Make a list today, even a mental list will help. Prioritize your goals so that things end up on a pleasant and easy note.
As I pay attention to the more practiced workmen on a landscaping job, I see that they prefer to get the more difficult part of the day’s work done first and then sail through the easy tasks to finish the day.
And they share smiles, laugh, and joke as they work
Everything is going to be all right

Tags: happiness is like a butterfly, Nathaniel Hawthorne quote, pause quietly
”Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”—Nathaniel Hawthorne—
Approach things slowly and gently this time of the year. When stressed, pause quietly for a while and concentrate on removing the unpleasant feelings from your mind. Allow the space created thereby to fill with happiness and laughter.
- Pause quietly
- Share a smile
- Everything is going to be all right.
