Thank God its Thursday. I know, I know....there are usually people saying that when it's a Friday. But for me today, I am grateful that it's Thursday. At least it's not Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday! It's been one of those weeks that you look forward to it being over...no matter what you do for a living or what's going on in your life. This week has been one of those weeks for me.
One of the things that I feel I am good at trying to do (whether I achieve at it or not) is attempting to make others happy. While this blog is about helping me to improve, part of that task is helping others. If we go around in our life only trying to please ourselves and stuck in only "spoiling" ourselves, we lose site at something that really does feel good. Nothing feels as good as making someone else smile and laugh. Today I am going to work on doing that more. When I make others smile and laugh I feel better myself. So, I guess in a way it does benefit me.
Remember, at least today is Thursday. That means it's not Monday. While you may not want to, try and help someone smile today. Even if it does mean making yourself look silly. You'll laugh about it later once you see someone's spirit lifted.
Have a good day!
You already made me smile today as I read my emails from you. You rock Melissa.
ReplyDeleteI've already made a nurse smile today. I had a doctors' appointment today, and her nurse was asking me all kinds of questions. When she asked, "And how is your chest?" I said, "Just fine, not even any chest hairs." She then said, "I think that was a little too much information." We both had a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been feeling much like myself lately either. As you know that since you started this blog I have also tried to start being a better me and more positive. I have this thing with the lady in the business office where I have to give her a word for the day and it has to be a positive word. My word for Thursday was SIMPLE. Just keep it simple and the rest will work itself. Your post about smile is something we all take for granted. To smile is such a simple thing to do yet sometimes the hardest when you encounter someone you dislike is involved. What is the saying....It takes more mucsles to smile than it does to frown or is that backwards? Smile and have a good day!
