Day 26: FUNdraising

This evening, I scheduled on my calendar to volunteer. I was home-bound, computer-bound, but helping by volunteering my work. I spent about 5-6 hours, in the late hours of the evening, to help a local non-profit organization do some fundraising. I cranked up the tunes and put the FUN in fundraising. It may not have … Continue reading Day 26: FUNdraising

Day 25: Jolly Green Giant

I was on a business run today. A Sunday, I know. I put in a few extra hours working on a different project, and I got out of the house to do my work at the local giant green coffee place. I walked in earlier in the morning and set my stuff down. I waited … Continue reading Day 25: Jolly Green Giant

Day 23: Happy Home Delivery

I am always thinking about those happy balloons. You know, the ones that were practically waving at me. I think I am going to have to stock them in my arsenal. So, I picked up a happy-faced balloon. I wrote out another one of my happy notes and I went on a mission. I scouted … Continue reading Day 23: Happy Home Delivery

Day 22: Happy Note

Perhaps I should think of something new, eh? But my wish is simple. “I hope you have a happy day,” my note said. They all say that. It’s true. If I had the time, I would write a note to each home in Reno — wishing them a happy day. It may sound trivial. It … Continue reading Day 22: Happy Note

Day 21: Happy Note

I know, another Happy Note! It may be small, but each Happy Note is a chance to touch someone. I hope that person will receive the note with an open mind, and happiness at the thought of the good vibes tucked inside.

Day 20: Deliver a Hug

I am the person who always has something uplifting to say, my glass is always full, and I do … Continue reading Day 20: Deliver a Hug

Days 17-19: Doctor’s Orders

Day 17. I woke up ill. Everyone else in my family had it. I guess it’s my turn. I was feeling particularly awful- and on a Saturday, that’s no good. So, off to the doctor I went. My usual doctor is not open on Saturday, so I had to go spend a couple hours waiting … Continue reading Days 17-19: Doctor’s Orders

Day 16: A Half-Hour Volunteer

Again at lunch. Lunchtime has a way with finding me people to help and things to get done. I volunteered for a half-hour. It was easy peasy. I ate quickly and helped out a little. It made me feel good. I hope my happy light shined and those little guys had a happy day. Happiness … Continue reading Day 16: A Half-Hour Volunteer

Day 14: Do a Favor

At school today, a fellow schooler and I were talking about our day, and she was telling me the things that needed to be done. She asked me if I could help by running an errand for her. Of course, I saw this as my opportunity to make someone happy today. I said, “Yes.” I … Continue reading Day 14: Do a Favor
