Be Generous

I can't believe there is only an hour left in my humpday frumpday workday. I'm learning the more positive energy you bring to your day, the smoother and happier your day goes.

More food for thought before engaging in Wednesday dinner:
"Generous acts strengthen the bonds of friendship, and what's more, studies show that your happiness is often boosted more by providing support to other people than from receiving support yourself." (The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin)

If a friend needs a friend, be there. If your man or woman needs support, be there. If your family needs your presence, be there. I have found that giving an hour to a friend who needs to rant about their situation, encouraging your significant other rather than nag, and spending time with your family is much more rewarding than focusing on yourself all the time. Give a little of yourself, and you will find little bursts of joy in return.

Be generous! Give a little! It is the holiday season afterall.
